Researchers have discovered that ferroelectric fluids can harness an overlooked transverse electrostatic force (TEF) to rise ...

An actuator's function is to provide thrust and positioning in machines used for production or testing. One type is the electromechanical actuator, which converts the torque of an electric rotary ...

Within the air brake systems of trucks and trailers, actuators play a vital, but largely unsung, role. Brake actuators are the devices that convert the compressed air force within a truck or trailer's ...

Adaptive soft matter, such as responsive gels, elastomers, shape memory and electro-active polymers, is attracting burgeoning interest in material science ...

In this chapter, I will present a few useful “cookbook” applications for real-time control circuits designed to perform some specific low-level task and interface with a master controller for ...

A New York-based company has unveiled a robotic hand that can rotate a nut on a bolt at super high speed. This is possible ...

A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230311734A1) describes a seat assembly that incorporates a percussive massage feature for the seated occupant. The seat assembly includes a seat frame ...
