    Breaking new ground in lubrication development

    Within every engine, lubrication is crucial to ensure long life and minimise emissions. Friction-reducing properties will remain vital for electric vehicle use too. But what makes an effective lubricant? Researchers at the University of Cambridge are using practical techniques involving neutron reflectometry to make a breakthrough in understanding lubrication performance. The instrumentation required must deliver hair-width measurements, so the motion solution that drives it must be capable of the most precise level of control.

    The electric car giving driving lessons to children under 10

    A real electric car in miniature gives children as young as four the opportunity to start their driving career early. With lessons from £20, the aim is to set children on course for excellent road safety and driving skills before these young drivers pass their test for real. Young Driver Motor Cars is providing this realistic driving experience using maxon motors.
