Researchers have now discovered that Escherichia coli bacteria harness a sophisticated chemosensory and signal transduction machinery that allows them to accurately control motor rotation, thereby ...

The American research team succeeded in producing autonomously propelled minimal motor that can freely move within the cell. The success of this experiment freely moves the inside of the human body ...

Researchers have provided the first atomic-level glimpse of the proton-driven motor from a major group of ATP synthases, enzymes that are central to cellular energy conversion. Researchers from the ...

Three engineering departments at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey –mechanical and aerospace, biomedical, and chemical and biochemical – are teaming up to create a prototype of an ultra-tiny ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley Labs and the University of California have made a new nanoscale motor that can drive a disc 4000 times bigger than itself. It is powered via the so-called “plasmonic ...

Chemists at Italy's University of Bologna, UCLA and the California NanoSystems Institute have designed and constructed a molecular motor of nanometer size that does not consume fuels; their nano motor ...

Through a technique known as DNA origami, scientists have created the fastest, most persistent DNA nano motor yet. Angewandte Chemie published the findings, which provide a blueprint for how to ...

Researchers at UCLA and University of Bologna develop a nano-size vehicle that can inch its way forward on sunlight. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, ...

Scientists have downsized the electric motor to the molecular level. That is, they've created an electrical motor that's the size of a nanometer. About 60,000 of them equal the width of a human hair.
