Diamagnetic levitation is the only passive levitation at room temperature. It is interesting to use this principle for a contactless conveyor in applications where friction and wear-particle contamination should be avoided such as in a microfactory. Using ...
The general idea of Nanotechnology is not new – it has been studied since Nobel laureate Richard Feynman outlined the idea in a speech in 1959 – but it's only recently that the progress carried out in the various fields of material, optic, physic and engin ...
This paper reports a new MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) compatible actuator that can operate near an MRI without degrading its imaging quality. A high-power electrostatic motor is introduced and its MR-compatibility is examined, both experimentally and t ...
