Ferrocene is a key molecule for developing molecular machines. However, it readily decomposes on the surface of flat noble ...

Mechanical systems are versatile tools, and Tommy's (incredible) work demonstrates a qualitatively new way to manipulate ...

Rogue Space Systems is developing orbital robots, known as orbots, that will allow for the safe removal of space debris. The UR20 cobot has an all-new joint design that ensures faster cycle times ...

Mechanical feedthroughs transmit mechanical motion through the walls of a vacuum system. Both linear and rotary mechanical feedthroughs are included in this grouping. Mechanical feedthroughs can be a ...

Wearable devices and smart sensors are transforming how we monitor health and activity, from tracking heartbeats to detecting ...

Mechanical brakes function via force delivered to a body in rotary or linear motion, such as an axle, shaft, or wheel, to slow or stop motion. Mechanical brakes are often in an assembly with a ...

An electrostatic motor operates based on electrostatic forces, rather than the magnetic forces used by a standard electric ...

into linear motion (movement in a straight line). These mechanisms can be found in car engines, printing machines and sewing machines. Inside many machines and engines, there are cam mechanisms.

Currently employed computational methods to simulate materials and their mechanical behavior are based on molecular dynamics ...
