Researchers from the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas have created the first-ever solid-state optical nanometer. The micro nanomotors can power various things, as reported by ...

A team of researchers has published a paper detailing a nanomotor that is powered by magnetic and acoustic fields, making it the first ever magneto-acoustic hybrid, fuel-free nanomotor. Nanoscale ...

Metabolically driven autonomous motility is the key indicator of life, ubiquitous in all living organisms including molecules, proteins, and organelles. For example, bacteria can ingeniously swim ...

Researchers created the first solid-state light-powered nanomotor at the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. Until now, light-driven motors needed to be submerged in ...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Sunflowers track the sun as it moves from east to west. But people usually have to convert sunlight into electricity or heat to put its power to use. Now, a team of University of ...

Carbon nanotube-based nanomotors utilise the exceptional mechanical and electrical characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to generate controlled rotational motion at the nanoscale. These systems ...

In this week's Nature, researchers in the Netherlands unveil a nanomotor that can rotate objects 10,000 times its size. Researchers in The Netherlands have created a nanomotor that can rotate ...
