World’s Tiniest Engine Created
The nanoscale engine — a trapped 40 Ca + ion — is approximately 10 billion times smaller than a car engine. It is electrically charged, which makes it easy to trap using electric fields. The working substance of the engine is the ion’s ‘intrinsic ...Sci-News: 2019-08-23

Nanotechnology and the concept of friction
1.1 What is friction? Take this everyday example: when a coffee mug rests on a flat table, the kinetic frictional force is zero. There is no force trying to move the mug across the table, so there is no need for a frictional force because there is nothing ...Nanowerk: 2019-08-28
