Motor

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed the world’s first electric nanomotors made of DNA. The self-assembling structures can be activated by an electric charge to spin a ratcheting rotor arm.

Researchers at Empa and EPFL have created one of the smallest motors ever made. It’s composed of just 16 atoms, and at that tiny size it seems to function right on the boundary between classical physics and the spooky quantum realm.

Stories, whether fact or fiction, are at the heart of human culture. A strong narrative can resonate with your personality and experiences, and help set a framework for your future. "That book changed my life" is a cherished maxim. So can a book change your brain too?

Researchers have created what they claim is the world's smallest electric motor, which consists of a single molecule.

A team of University of Florida chemists have developed a new type of “molecular nanomotor” that transforms light directly into motion, bypassing the conversion of light to electricity or heat required by traditional solar powered motors.
