Composite gear design at igus is proving that lightweight, smart and maintenance-free solutions are the future of industrial ...

ABB designed its ODP motors with airflow geometry that allows air to cool the motor more efficiently. The latest iterations ...

Systems in which mechanical motion is controlled at the level of individual quanta are emerging as a promising quantum-?technology platform. New experimental work now establishes how quantum ...

Stanford University researchers have developed a key experimental device for future quantum physics-based technologies that borrows a page from current, everyday mechanical devices. Reliable, compact, ...

What if a book could do more than just tell a story, what if it could move, teach, and inspire all at once? The 3D-printed mechanical book is not your average volume of pages. It’s a new fusion of ...

Isaac Newton would never have discovered the laws of motion had he studied only cats. Suppose you hold a cat, stomach up, and drop it from a second-story window. If a cat is simply a mechanical system ...

Can motorcycles be considered works of art? They are at a place called Madhouse Motors. Jared Bowen of GBH Boston went to see how the mechanics there are creating masterpieces in motion for our arts ...
