Figure 1: Two opposing views of the motor cortex. The stimulation-evoked movements observed by Fritsch and Hitzig suggest that motor cortex is a structure for movement generation, whereas 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 ...

This new motor is so tiny even an HIV virus dwarfs it. A team of physicists led by Philip Ketterer of the Technical University of Munich have just built, molecule by molecule, the smallest rotary ...

DYSPROSIUM and neodymium are not exactly the best-known elements in the periodic table, but for makers of high-end electric motors they have become vital. Both are strongly magnetic and thus crucial ...

Professor Dominic Rowe, from Macquarie University’s neurology department, announced on 2GB Radio’s Ray Hadley show yesterday that four medical facilities in Sydney and Melbourne would begin trialling ...

Scientists have unveiled a functional motor made with just 16 atoms. The researchers, from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa), made the tiny motor, which is ...
