A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The invention holds potential for a new generation of mechanical devices that offer ...

This project demonstrates Simscape's ability to model soltuion dynamics, specifically forward and reverse osmosis in the forms of the classic manometer experiment and unsteady reverse osmosis ...

Abstract: The mathematical models for two widely used pneumatic systems in the soft robotics community are presented: syringe pumps and compressed air systems. These models enable prediction and ...

A supercritical fluid refers to a state in which the temperature and pressure of a substance exceed its critical point, where no distinction exists between liquid and gas phases. Traditionally, it has ...

Brake fluid is one of the many liquids that modern cars need in order to run (or stop). It's a type of hydraulic fluid with a high boiling point, but it also absorbs moisture like a sponge. DOT 3, DOT ...

If someone asked you to list a few car maintenance tasks you could do yourself, tire and oil changes may come to mind first (unless you're a project car person, in which case you'd respond with ...

The submersible's implosion was an avoidable tragedy caused by cost-cutting, ignoring engineering principles, and a "toxic" work environment. Coast Guard: Engineering Failures Led to Titan Disaster ...

The average car has around 30,000 parts and many fluids are used to keep them running properly. The most important fluids are motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, washer fluid and coolant.

When two fluids don't mix well, they sometimes form strange patterns called "viscous fingering," or Saffman-Taylor instability. Studying these patterns can help scientists understand how to design ...

Scientists have detected microplastics — the tiny and pervasive fragments now found in our seas, drinking water, food and, increasingly, living tissue — in human semen and follicular fluid, according ...

Artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, and so is the demand for the infrastructure behind it. From the explosive growth of generative models to the rise of AI-driven data analytics, companies ...

Microplastics and the much smaller nanoplastics enter the human body in various ways, for example through food or the air we breathe. A large proportion is excreted, but a certain amount remains in ...
