Ensuring the integrity and quality of the welded hair clip is crucial in the assembly of electric motors. Usually, 160 to 220 hair clips are welded to each motor, and the accuracy of these welds directly affects the overall quality of the stator and motor. The traditional method of detecting these welds is difficult to balance the requirements of safety and accuracy, which often leads to damage to...

With the increasing demand for human data, the requirements for data storage methods are also increasing. Optical Data Storage (ODS) is a light based storage method commonly used in DVDs, which is low-cost and very durable. But ODS usually stores data in a single layer, and the amount of data that can be stored is limited. Gu Min, academician of Shanghai University of Technology, Wen Jing, and Rua...

When researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Medicine conducted their first ultrafast X-ray crystallographic experiment on myoglobin in 2015, they were not aware that they had conducted the wrong experiment. By increasing the power of X-ray free electron lasers to ensure usable diffraction patterns, lead researcher Ilme Schlichting said that they "suddenly entered the wrong [excited] state with...
