"Breakthrough: International Team Unveils Revolutionary DNA Nano Engine"

TL;DR Summary
An international team of scientists has developed a novel DNA nano engine that can perform pulsing movements. The engine, made of DNA and driven by a clever mechanism, has the potential to be used as a drive in complex nano machines. The researchers repurposed a mechanism found in cells to power the engine, using RNA polymerases to drive the pulsing movements. The motor requires energy in the form of nucleotide triphosphates and can be combined with other structures. The team plans to further develop the motor and explore its potential applications in nanotechnology.
