The way a key cellular motor works at an atomic level has been uncovered by simulations conducted by RIKEN biophysicists.

Crystalline alloys used in motors today lose some energy through heat, but glass-like metals could solve this engineering ...

Julio Sanchez recalls being in high school when the Space Shuttle Endeavour rolled into Los Angeles in 2012. Eleven years later, Sanchez, now a father of two young children, milled about near the ...

Some unusual cargo was hauled through the streets of Exposition Park on Wednesday, as a pair of large space-age Solid Rocket Motors were delivered to the California Science Center. The rocket motors ...

Researchers at Saarland University in Germany have 3D-printed an electric motor rotor from metallic glass, a material 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 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 ...

Scientists have created a working nanoscale electomotor. The science team designed a turbine engineered from DNA that is powered by hydrodynamic flow inside a nanopore, a nanometer-sized hole in a ...
