Scientists at Purdue University and the University of Minnesota have solved the three-dimensional structure of the central component of a biological "motor" that powers the DNA packaging system in a ...

It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half.

Motor protein structure describes the structure of molecular motors capable of moving along a cytoskeletal filament. In many cases, motor proteins transport cargo in a particular direction along the ...

Microwaves have been used to unravel the exact structure of a tiny molecular motor. The nano-machine consists of just a single molecule, made up of 27 carbon and 20 hydrogen atoms (C27H20). A team of ...

An adaptive algorithm kills jerky motions in motors. High-performance motion-control applications commonly use three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motors, popularly known as brushless motors.

SAIC Motor has been granted a patent for an innovative electric motor winding structure. This design features a multi-phase winding arrangement using hairpin conductors in a grooved iron core, ...
