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 ...

Gears have powered the world for millennia, from clock machines to car engines. But miniaturizing them to microscopic ...

They carry loads at speeds up to 70 inches per second and are designed for horizontal or vertical applications. Ideal for positioning operations in all types of machinery, Roh'lix is often a less ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have announced an interesting invention: the “smallest on-chip motor in history.” Surprisingly, this tiny motor is so small that it can fit “inside a strand ...

A research team has developed a method to construct a biohybrid system that incorporates Vorticella microorganisms. The method allows movable structures to be formed in a microchannel and harnessed to ...

Researchers say making the gears on a micrometer scale paves the way for the smallest on-chip motors in history. The post New ...

Ball splines are special motion control elements that can transmit or resist torque and linear motion simultaneously. Learn how to select the right ball splines for your high-speed motion and rotation ...
