Scientists at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed a new class of lightweight, highly conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) wiring that does away with copper and aluminum ...

In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided ...

A broken motor in an automated machine can bring production on a busy factory floor to a halt. If engineers can't find a ...

Donut Lab, which unveiled a family of in-wheel electric motors at CES 2025, has spent almost a decade searching for one of the holy grails of the EV industry: in-wheel motors that actually work. These ...

Ships, airplanes, wind turbines and electric vehicles rely on electric motors to operate. Since these motors are typically made with rare earth materials, they come with a multitude of environmental ...

There's no replacement for displacement. An adage that's been around as long as the combustion engine, really. But these age-old sayings don't really apply anymore when it comes to electric motors.

Electric motors usually comprise a stator and a rotor, with the latter rotating inside the former. Donut Lab thinks this design is outdated, and a hollowed-out rotor can offer important advantages.

One of the big advantages of electric vehicles is their greater freedom when it comes to packaging. Batteries go where it makes the most sense in terms of stability and safety. Electric motors are ...
