Rice, Texas A&M-led research shows motors kill bacteria, revive some antibacterial drugs Molecular drills have gained the ability to target and destroy deadly bacteria that have evolved... Read more
Researchers have developed artificial ‘chameleon skin’ that changes colour when exposed to light and could be used in applications such as active camouflage and large-scale dynamic displays.... Read more
The research team of Prof. Massimiliano Esposito of the University of Luxembourg studied the thermodynamics of small nanomachines. All machines convert one form of energy into another form... Read more
Rice nanomachines constructed to deliver drugs, destroy diseased cells Motorized molecules driven by light have been used to drill holes in the membranes of individual cells and show promise... Read more
Nanocars will compete for the first time ever during an international molecule-car race on April 28-29, 2017 in Toulouse (south-western France). The vehicles, which consist of a few hundred... Read more
3-D printing turns nanomachines into life-size workers Chenfeng Ke, CC BY-ND Chenfeng Ke, Dartmouth College Nanomachines are tiny molecules – more than 10,000 lined up side by side would be... Read more
Rewarded with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016, nanomachines provide mechanical work on the smallest of scales. Yet at such small dimensions, molecular motors can complete this work in onl... Read more
Networks of nanometer-scale machines offer exciting potential applications in medicine, industry, environmental protection and defense, but until now there’s been one very small problem: the... Read more
