Optical micrometers detect and measure a range of process variables in industrial production, including thickness, gaps, edges, and segments. This article explores...
The Harvard RoboBee has long shown it can fly, dive, and hover like a real insect. But what good is the miracle of flight without a safe way to land? A storied engineering achievement by the Harvard...
Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, Georgia Tech engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop. Their device, a silicone...
A tiny, soft, flexible robot that can crawl through earthquake rubble to find trapped victims or travel inside the human body to deliver medicine may seem like science fiction, but an...
By 2028, the automotive battery market is expected to generate more than $70 billion in revenue. As the demand for sustainable power alternatives changes mobility design standards, how can engineers...
Servo motors, which are used for precise control of angular or linear position, speed, and acceleration, are commonly found in applications such as industrial automation, conveyor...
Servo coupling selection usually starts with a decision between torsionally stiff couplings and vibration damping couplings. Almost all applications can be categorized into one of four key types. Learn...
This is critically important knowledge for all engineers and designers. How much do you know about electrical equipment in hazardous locations? Test your knowledge with this quiz.
Imagine a robot that can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. That is exactly what roboticists have achieved in robots developed at the University of California San Diego.
In the highly regulated medical device industry, success relies on precision, compliance, and efficiency. Manufacturers need more than basic production control – it’s...
As space missions push the boundaries of performance and efficiency, thermal control remains a critical challenge for satellite, payload, and instrument...
These servo reducers deliver exceptional performance for even the most demanding applications. They are expertly designed to meet the needs of industries such as...
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is when an external source disrupts an electrical device's operation. EMI, which can be caused by natural or man-made sources, can be used intentionally for radio jamming. How much do you know about EMI? Find out with this quiz.
Professor Sameh Tawfick and his team at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana have developed a 3D process that grows polymer objects in a controlled manner to achieve a desired shape.
The work addresses the outfielder problem, which refers to the baseball player who stands in the outfield to catch the ball after it is hit. It is a classic challenge in physics and the neuroscience of movement, used to explore how humans and animals predict movements in a dynamic environment and how automated systems can be designed to mimic them.
Creators of the original antigravity treadmill for astronauts in space have now developed a new treadmill that uses air pressure to counter gravity, making running possible for people with injuries and other conditions.
Master Bond EP114 is a nanosilica filled epoxy which offers excellent dimensional stability and a very high glass transition temperature upon curing. Its ultra-low initial mixed viscosity...
Nigel Forrester, Director of Product Strategy, Concurrent Technologies, discusses the future of TSN Ethernet for aerospace and defense applications on this episode of the Aerospace & Defense Technology podcast.
Smart glasses are wearable devices that integrate computer technology into eyeglasses. These glasses work by projecting digital images onto the user’s field of vision. Test your knowledge about smart glasses.
Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its grasp to avoid damaging or mishandling whatever it holds.
Imagine navigating a virtual reality with contact lenses or operating your smartphone under water — this and more could soon be a reality thanks to innovative e-skins. A research team...
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new thermometer using atoms boosted to such high energy levels that they are a thousand...
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the fundamental building block of microchips used in...
