Researchers Rev Up Electric Nano-Motors
September 9, 2011 No CommentsSOURCE: TechNewsWorld
Scientists have created a molecule-sized motor that runs on electricity, as opposed to similar-sized motors running on chemicals or light. The ability to control a single-molecule motor could lead to innovations in more precise medical and engineering technology and could lead to tinier, advanced digital devices. Many obstacles stand in the way of practical applications, however.
