WASHINGTON (AP) — The Transportation Security Administration is changing the way it pats down passengers at airports -- moving from the screener's traditional hand pat to more of a hand-sliding motion ...

Ferrocene is a key molecule for developing molecular machines. However, it readily decomposes on the surface of flat noble metal substrates, marking a significant challenge. Now researchers have ...

Resembling the Leidenfrost effect seen in rapidly boiling water droplets, a disk of ice becomes highly mobile due to a levitating layer of water between it and the smooth surface on which it rests and ...

Efficiently integrating multiple axes of motion within limited spatial and mechanical constraints remains a significant challenge for machine designers. Leveraging compact servo drives with real-time ...

In-service lubricant analysis serves both proactive and predictive roles. Proactive measurements—such as particle count, water content, glycol levels, viscosity, and acid number—concentrate on ...

Review: We take a look at a smartphone controlled motorised slider that costs $160. What's the catch? Rewind the clocks. Ten years ago motorized sliders, and motion control were all the craze, and ...

The complex of ammonium-linked ferrocene (Fc-amm) and crown ether is assembled on a Cu(111) surface, and its sliding motion is activated by hole injection into the ferrocene group using scanning ...

(Nanowerk News) Artificial molecular machines, nanoscale machines consisting of a few molecules, offer the potential to transform fields involving catalysts, molecular electronics, medicines, and ...
