Only magnets and muscles A magnetically controlled prosthetic hand provides fine control of finger motion, enabling the user to perform everyday tasks such as pouring ...

Researchers have created a new magnetically controlled capsule that can be ‘driven’ around the stomach using joysticks to take images of areas of interest. It's unlike other pill cams that rely on the ...

A microrobotic tool uses magnetic control and hydrophobic particles to cut water surfaces and create reconfigurable platforms for fluidic applications. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Many of the most advanced ...

Beamline diagnostics are an essential part of any particle accelerator, used to measure and monitor the properties of the particle beam itself. Within these diagnostic systems, precise linear motion ...

Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

Moving heavy materials through cutting, polishing and coating stages requires precise balancing of load capacity and motion speed. Here’s how the right linear guidance selection and configuration can ...
