source:scienceFor 2 decades, physicists have strived to miniaturize particle accelerators—the huge machines that serve as atom smashers and x-ray sources. That effort just took a big step, as physicists in China used a small “plasma wakefield accelerator” to power a type of laser called a free-electron laser (FEL). The 12-meter-long FEL isn’t nearly as good as its kilometers-long predecessors. Still, other researchers say the experiment marks a major advance in mini accelerators.“A lot of [scientists] will be looking at this like, ‘Yeah, that’s very impressive!’” says Jeroen van Tilborg, a las...

source:Nevada TodayShow share menuShare to FacebookShare to TwitterAssistant Professor David Cantu of the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering has received a CAREER award to advance research in the efficient and sustainable extraction of rare earth elements, which are vital to the production of modern technologies. The CAREER awards are presented through the early-career development program of the National Science Foundation. Recently, Cantu was kind enough to share his thoughts on the research he will pursue with the CAREER award. In addition to its potential applications in ...

source：Design WorldThe TMR-075-16-001-2 limited angle torque motor utilizes a toroidally wound, stationary coil assembly with a two-pole permanent magnet rotor to generate torque.The rare earth permanent magnet rotor always has an even number of poles, with two to six poles. The maximum angular excursion with a two-pole rotor is 180o, but the torque will drop off to zero at the extents of the travel. This model has a constant torque over a range of 75° or 1.31 radians.The rotor assembly is installed within the ID of the stator assembly. There is a magnetic attractive force between the sta...
