Mini motor

The tiniest motor ever created has been conceived by researchers, reports Nature Nanotechnology. The little contraption is made from a single molecule, measuring a billionth of a metre across, and could have applications in both nanotechnology and in medicine.

The tiniest motor ever created has been conceived by researchers, reports Nature Nanotechnology. The little contraption is made from a single molecule, measuring a billionth of a metre across, and could have applications in both nanotechnology and in medicine. This is not the first single molecule rotor to have surfaced, but the latest variant is the first that can be individually driven by an electric current.
