A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The ...

Scientists at New York University and NYU Shanghai have developed a new kind of gear that works without teeth or direct ...

Gears are fairly straightforward way to couple rotational motion, and the physics topics required to understand them are encountered in an entry level physics classroom, not a university degree. But ...

A Korean research team has developed a technology to more accurately diagnose faults in rotating equipment, such as automotive gears and power plant machinery. The Seoul National University (SNU) ...
