Mechanical actions underlie much of what makes modern day society function, whether it’s electric motors, combustion engines, switches, levers, or the springs inside a toy blaster gun that propel foam ...
Mechanical metamaterials represent an exciting frontier in materials science, where the extraordinary properties of a material arise predominantly from its engineered structure rather than its ...
A hybrid computer uses rotating mechanical beams for memory and electrical contacts for logic, performing reprogrammable computation through physical motion in environments where conventional ...
A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The invention holds potential for a new generation of mechanical devices that offer ...
A book of mechanical actions is a wondrous thing — mechanically inclined children have lost collective decades pouring over them over the generations. What could possibly be better? Why, if the ...
The Antikythera Mechanism was a hand-cranked system of interlocking bronze gears designed to model the heavens. Turning the crank revealed the positions of the Sun, Moon, and the five planets visible ...
Researchers simulated the device's ancient gear system to find out whether the contraption actually worked. Apparently, it did not. Reading time 3 minutes In 1901, sponge divers discovered an ancient ...
