The Applied Physics Laboratory, led by Dr. D. Dobrynin, was formed in 2011, and is focused on the fundamental and applied research of “cold” atmospheric pressure plasmas. Primary research areas ...

Purdue University students take part in activities at the newly-created physics labs in Indianapolis. Purdue University photo/Alisha Willett INDIANAPOLIS —Purdue University is expanding hands-on ...

Particle physicists have chosen to base the proposed International Linear Collider on superconducting technology developed by an international collaboration centred on the DESY lab in Germany. The ...

Armed with even with the most-sophisticated motion controller, engineers can still find it difficult to attain precise linear motion unless the mechanical components are appropriately designed for the ...

Custom parts and assemblies can save time and money while improving performance on linear motion projects. But finding vendors that can handle customization is key. Here are some tips for finding ...

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...

KEY TO PRECISION Functioning alongside compact ball screws that are locked onto a platform and linked to a servo motor, these linear guides allow for precise, high-speed linear motion with minimal ...
