How do neurons transport proteins? A new study reveals that Kinesin-2 motor subtypes regulate cargo specificity.

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations. This ...

The axial flux electric motor pioneers at YASA are at it again. Just three months after sending tremors through the electric motor market with an unofficial world-record power density that absolutely ...

There's no replacement for displacement. An adage that's been around as long as the combustion engine, really. But these age-old sayings don't really apply anymore when it comes to electric motors.

Electric motors are getting smaller, lighter and more powerful – and that makes overheating a growing risk. A research team ...

Six years ago, we wrote that a number of single-motor hybrid systems were about to enter the market. They represented a new approach to a technology pioneered in 1997, when the first-generation Toyota ...

In terms of speed and agility, flagella-powered bacteria would leave Olympic swimmers for dead. They swim hundreds of body lengths in a second, and can change direction in a fraction of that time. The ...

Any electrical motor, from an idealized viewpoint, consists of two sets of magnets—one set stationary, one set free to move—placed in special geometric relation to one another. For most practical ...

If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...

Motor learning allows us to develop and refine new skills through practice. Humans rely on it throughout life as it does not only allow for acquisition of key skills such as walking or grabbing ...
