The overall size scale of our actuator is of the order of ∼300 nm and its components are integrated on a silicon chip. Low-level externally applied voltages precisely control the operation speed and ...
An EPFL Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering has developed a device that significantly dampens the flow-induced vibration caused by rotating parts, such as those in boat propellers, turbines and ...
Motors, pumps, and other electromechanical devices are tinier than ever–and getting even smaller. Now, for the first time, researchers have used miniature, nested cylinders, called multiwalled carbon ...
