The body uses protein-based molecular motors to perform functions essential to life. Now, researchers have created ‘The Lawnmower,’ the first synthetic motor modeled on those found in nature that ...

While it can be said that the modern racer does not see himself or herself as a scientist, by definition, it is certainly the case. There are many areas of science used in developing performance in ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Julio Sanchez recalls being in high school when the Space Shuttle Endeavour rolled into Los Angeles in 2012. Eleven years later, Sanchez, now a father of two young children, milled about near the ...

Scientists have identified acquisition of two types of internal models for motor control, which are likely to be stored in the cerebellum. They show that motor control in human hand reaching movement ...

Welcome to the Huffines Institute Blog, where the best and brightest students in the Health and Kinesiology Department at Texas A&M get the chance to showcase their work! This week's piece is written ...

Rob MacCachren studied a new 37-inch-tall tire before using a thick yellow crayon to plot several precision cuts in the deep-lugged tread. "This really is a science," he said of customizing his ...

Temperate traffic policemen who grow dizzy on duty know that they are not drunk, but are mildly poisoned by carbon monoxide puffing invisibly from motor vehicle exhausts.— Carbon monoxide’s first ...

Toxic link A toxin in blue-green algae could be taken up by the body's proteins and trigger motor neurone disease, new research suggests. Recent studies have identified a link between the consumption ...
