Article Abstract
In laser beam processing, the angle or offset between the auxiliary gas and the laser beam axis have been proved to be two new process optimization parameters for improving cutting speed and quality. However, a traditional electromechanical actuator cannot achieve high-speed and high-precision motion control with a compact structure. This paper proposes a magnetic levitation actuator which could realize the 5-DOF motion control of a lens using six groups of differential electromagnets. At first, the nonlinear characteristic of a magnetic driving force was analyzed by establishing an analytical model and finite element calculation. Then, the dynamic model of the magnetic levitation actuator was established using the Taylor series. And the mathematical relationship between the detected distance and five-degree-of-freedom was determined. Next, the centralized control system based on PID control was designed. Finally, a driving test was carried out to verify the five-degrees-of-freedom motion of the proposed electromagnetic levitation actuator. The results show it can achieve a stable levitation and precision positioning with a desired command motion. It also proves that the proposed magnetic levitation actuator has the potential application in an off-axis laser cutting machine tool.

Understanding surface forces of two-dimensional (2D) materials is of fundamental importance as they govern molecular dynamics in nanoscale proximity. Despite recent understanding of substrate-supported 2D monolayers, the intrinsic surface properties of 2D materials remain vague. Here we report on a repulsive Lifshitz-van der Waals force generated in proximity to the surface of suspended graphene.

Ultrasonic motors (USMs) as a kind of smart drive actuator have potential in space explorations, optical system, precise instrument, biomedicine, etc. However, a series of challenges, such as complex phase control system, severe friction and wear between the stator and rotor, unpractical motor structure, restrict the development and commercialization of ultrasonic motors. To tackle these problems, a non-contact ultrasonic motor with a longitudinal transducer based on near-field acoustic levitation was presented to simplify the structure and improve motor performance.

Introduction: Acoustophoresis has enabled novel interaction capabilities, such as levitation, volumetric displays, mid-air haptic feedback, and directional sound generation, to open new forms of multimodal interactions. However, its traditional implementation as a singular static unit limits its dynamic range and application versatility.
Methods: This paper introduces "AcoustoBots" - a novel convergence of acoustophoresis with a movable and reconfigurable phased array of transducers for enhanced application versatility.

Micromachines capable of performing diverse mechanical tasks in complex and constrained microenvironments are of great interest. Despite important milestones in this pursuit, until now, micromachines are confined to actuation within a single 2D plane due to the challenges of transferring motion across different planes in limited space. Here, a breakthrough method is presented to overcome this limitation: multi-component micromachines that facilitate 3D motion transfer across different planes.

Unlabelled: The ultimate isolation offered by levitation provides new opportunities for studying fundamental science and realizing ultra-sensitive floating sensors. Among different levitation schemes, diamagnetic levitation is attractive because it allows stable levitation at room temperature without a continuous power supply. While the dynamics of diamagnetically levitating objects in the linear regime are well studied, their nonlinear dynamics have received little attention.
