The 3D Printed Mini Linear Actuator was developed as a way to turn a mini servo into a linear actuator, giving it more power in the process. A servo uses a potentiometer attached to the output ...

Researchers at Empa are developing artificial muscles that could one day move like real ones. Using advanced 3D printing, ...

The answer in this case was flying batteries: 18 small (1704 SMD) solid-state cells instead of one large cell, switched in various series-parallel combinations to deliver various voltages – allowing ...
