Oklo's Texas isotope reactor cleared a key DOE safety review, moving closer to startup and a planned July 2026 first ...

For a drive unit for axes of robots and robot-like systems (RLS) usually a motor-gearbox arrangement is chosen due to its high-power density. The combination of a high-ratio gearbox and a high-speed ...

While nanoscale structural imaging of cells is now possible, a direct recording of chemical composition of these domains is lacking. Here we overcome this challenge by first analytically modeling the ...

We introduce a soft robot actuator composed of a pre-stressed elastomer film embedded with shape memory alloy (SMA) and a liquid metal (LM) curvature sensor. SMA-based actuators are commonly used as ...

Thin shape-shifting structures are often limited in their ability to morph into complex and doubly curved shapes. Such transformations require both large in-plane expansion or contraction gradients ...

Institute of Mechanical Manufacturing Technology, China Academy of Engineering Physics, Mianyang, China. Detection and location of cracks at an early stage of their development is an important part of ...

Test pilot Paul Smith got behind production-standard controls in a 787 test aircraft for an evaluation flight of Boeing’s technologically ground-breaking Dreamliner Two years ago, Flight International ...
