Our favorite tweak for squeaks relies on a different principle: Instead of using shims or lubricants to decouple the pad from the caliper, stick the brake pad's backing plate to the piston or caliper ...

This paper presents a novel yokeless and segmented armature (YASA) axial flux in-wheel motor featuring a specifically designed amorphous magnetic metal stator. The electromagnetic and mechanical ...

Using a hydraulic press containing two sapphire anvils, a team was able to create sub-nanometer thick sheets of different metals — these sheets had diameters exceeding 0.1 mm, orders of ...

Sheets of metal just two atoms thick can be produced by squashing molten droplets at great pressure between two sapphires. The researchers who developed the process say the unusual materials could ...
