Some unusual cargo was hauled through the streets of Exposition Park on Wednesday, as a pair of large space-age Solid Rocket Motors were delivered to the California Science Center. The rocket motors ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Julio Sanchez recalls being in high school when the Space Shuttle Endeavour rolled into Los Angeles in 2012. Eleven years later, Sanchez, now a father of two young children, milled about near the ...

The body uses protein-based molecular motors to perform functions essential to life. Now, researchers have created ‘The Lawnmower,’ the first synthetic motor modeled on those found in nature that ...

While it can be said that the modern racer does not see himself or herself as a scientist, by definition, it is certainly the case. There are many areas of science used in developing performance in ...

Scientists have identified acquisition of two types of internal models for motor control, which are likely to be stored in the cerebellum. They show that motor control in human hand reaching movement ...

This new motor is so tiny even an HIV virus dwarfs it. A team of physicists led by Philip Ketterer of the Technical University of Munich have just built, molecule by molecule, the smallest rotary ...

Discover how to build a simple electromagnetic motor and generator using everyday materials in this hands-on science experiment. Follow the detailed steps to assemble a motor with a plastic bottle cap ...

HENRY FORD may have brought motoring to the masses in 1908 with the Model T, but his wife, Clara, preferred to drive an electric car. Combustion engines were noisy, dirty and in their early years ...

Rob MacCachren studied a new 37-inch-tall tire before using a thick yellow crayon to plot several precision cuts in the deep-lugged tread. "This really is a science," he said of customizing his ...
