Even if the machine was used properly, the constant mechanical motion of the parts will eventually cause damage. (unifiltekken.com)
To make the discovery, the researchers tapped into a concept called photostriction — where light is converted into mechanical motion. (rdmag.com)
Back then, most researchers were working on making supramolecular systems that were able to perform either linear or rotational motions — «but Jean - Marie said, when I arrived in the lab, «You know, the most important mechanical motion in the world is the coiling motion of the proteins in the biological world,»» Barboiu recalls.
