The way a key cellular motor works at an atomic level has been uncovered by simulations conducted by RIKEN biophysicists.

ATP is produced by an enzyme called ATPase, which consists of two molecular motors, F o and F 1, that rotate in opposite ...

Axonal transport of proteins and materials inside the cytoplasm of the slender axon is essential for a neuron's growth and function. For example, proteins manufactured by ribosomes need to be ...

F-Type ATP synthase, a catalytic complex of proteins, synthesizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of living cells. A lot of ambiguity exists over the rotational mechanism of this ...

Researchers created a system that enables makers to incorporate sensors directly into rotational mechanisms with only one pass in a 3D printer. This gives rotational mechanisms like gearboxes the ...

Integrating sensors into rotational mechanisms could make it possible for engineers to build smart hinges that know when a door has been opened, or gears inside a motor that tell a mechanic how fast ...

The four bar linkage is a type of mechanical linkage that is used in many different devices. A few examples are: locking pliers, bicycles, oil well pumps, loaders, internal combustion engines, ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and other international institutions have for the first time achieved atomic-scale observations of grain rotation in polycrystalline materials.
