"Nano Motor: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Miniaturization"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily
Scientists at the University of Bonn have developed a novel nanomotor that measures just one ten-thousandth of a millimeter. The motor operates using a mechanism similar to a hand grip trainer, where two handles connected by a spring are pulled together by an RNA polymerase and then released, generating pulsing movements. The motor requires nucleotide triphosphates as fuel and can be combined with other structures, potentially leading to the development of complex nanomachines. Further research and optimization are needed before practical applications can be realized.
