Researchers have discovered the atomic structure of a powerful "molecular motor" that packages DNA into the head segment of some viruses during their assembly, an essential step in their ability to ...

Scientists at Purdue University and the University of Minnesota have solved the three-dimensional structure of the central component of a biological "motor" that powers the DNA packaging system in a ...

An adaptive algorithm kills jerky motions in motors. High-performance motion-control applications commonly use three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motors, popularly known as brushless motors.

There are various ways to construct a motor, and the properties of that motor will depend on the construction choice. The series motor configuration has some desirable properties, but it can become ...
