Stanford University researchers have developed a key experimental device for future quantum physics-based technologies that borrows a page from current, everyday mechanical devices. Reliable, compact, ...

Mechanoelectrical energy conversion offers a promising solution for powering miniaturized biomedical devices, such as cardiac pacemakers, brain stimulators, wearable drug delivery systems, and more.

Jan 29 (Reuters) - Middle-aged adults who need an aortic valve replacement fare better with mechanical devices than with the valves made from animal tissues that they currently most often receive, U.S ...

The crystal structure of these atomically thin materials makes them extremely sensitive to mechanical strain – tiny stretches or compressions of the atomic lattice. In principle, this strain ...

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 ...

There is a bit of a paradox when it comes to miniaturization. When electronics replaced mechanical devices, it was often the case that the electronic version was smaller. When transistors and, later, ...
