Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that spins, not with rigid components, but with a droplet of liquid ...

While it can be said that the modern racer does not see himself or herself as a scientist, by definition, it is certainly the case. There are many areas of science used in developing performance in ...

The body uses protein-based molecular motors to perform functions essential to life. Now, researchers have created ‘The Lawnmower,’ the first synthetic motor modeled on those found in nature that ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

The new "perfect motor" is as yet nameless, but it uses the SCT's cooling concept in the MCT's magnet-free, induction-powered design, and Mahle says it retains the advantages of both these systems, ...
