Scientists at New York University have developed a new gear mechanism that uses fluid dynamics rather than interlocking physical teeth to transmit motion.

During femtosecond laser fabrication, photons are mainly absorbed by electrons, and the subsequent energy transfer from electrons to ions is of picosecond order. Hence, lattice motion is negligible ...
