  • Tiny mechanical wrist gives new dexterity to needlescopic surgery

    A mechanical wrist less than 1/16th of an inch thick -- small enough to use in needlescopic surgery, the least invasive form of minimally invasive surgery -- has been created by scientists. Needlescopic surgery, which uses surgical instruments shrunk to...  more

  • Intellectuals and the rise of the modern economy as to why STEM fields matter

    There are good reasons to get engaged and involved in STEM education.

  • Seahorse Tail as Inspiration to Future Robots and Medical Devices

    The key aspect to better, tougher and more coordinated robots as well as improved medical devices, among other advances, could derive from the square tail of the seahorse.

  • Addressing long-standing mysteries behind anti-wear motor oil additive

    Motor oil contains chemical additives that extend how long engines can run without failure, but, despite decades of ubiquity, how such additives actually work to prevent this damage have remained a mystery. Now, engineers and ExxonMobil have teamed up to...  more

  • Drive System Saves Space and Weight in Electric Cars

    Siemens has developed a solution for integrating an electric car's motor and inverter in a single housing. Until now, the motor and the inverter, which converts the battery's direct current into alternating current for the motor, were two separate components.

  • Robotics in School Education
