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 ...

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.

There are various ways to construct a motor, and the properties of that motor will depend on the construction choice. The series motor configuration has some desirable properties, but it can become ...
