Nanomotors could help electronics fix themselves

As electronics grow ever more intricate, so must the tools required to fix them. Anticipating

Ultrasonically propelled nanorods spin at 150,000 rpm!

Vibrate a solution of rod-shaped metal nanoparticles in water with ultrasound and they’ll spin around

Nanomotors are controlled, for the first time, inside living cells

The ability of nanomotors to affect living cells holds promise for medicine For the first
