Researchers concoct self-propelled nano motor
Researchers concoct self-propelled nano motor Researchers at UCLA and the University of Bologna have come up with a nano-size vehicle that can inch its way forward on sunlight and one day could, conceivably, be used to shuttle medicines or other small particles around. The motor in chemical terms is a rotaxane, a mechanically interlocked molecule… Continue reading Researchers concoct self-propelled nano motor
