Although we’re living in the twenty-first century, there are still many dangers in our workplaces. For certain industries, such as the construction, manufacturing and industrial industries, the risks ...

Gears have powered the world for millennia, from clock machines to car engines. But miniaturizing them to microscopic dimensions has stumped engineers for decades.

Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? I mean, kinda... it's all relative, right?

The linear motion of a cylinder can actually be transformed into rotation? This technology sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, and now it has become a reality! The patent for the "Docking ...

Based on differences in friction characteristics, screws are primarily classified into three categories: sliding screws, rolling screws, and hydrostatic screws. Among these, rolling screws are widely ...

Some DNA molecules may serve as handy micromachines to convert rotational motion into linear translation, an important function for positioning minuscule parts in microscopic devices. Researchers at ...

Externally triggered motion of small objects has potential in applications ranging from micromachines, to drug delivery, and self-assembly of superstructures. Here we present a new concept for the ...

Engineering experts have proposed a novel technique to measure the cell traction force field and tackle the research gap. The interdisciplinary research team used single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...

In today’s hazardous workplace, safety remains a top priority– especially in construction, which consistently ranks as one of the most dangerous industries. In 2023 alone, construction experienced ...
