Tiny machines built from individual molecules are moving from science fiction into working hardware, promising to reshape ...

Machines enclosed in a cage or casing may display interesting properties. For example, they can convert their energy input into programmed functions. The mechanical gyroscope is one such system – an ...

Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...

Sir Fraser Stoddart, who has died aged 82, was a phenomenally inventive Scottish-born scientist who shared the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with the Frenchman Jean-Pierre Sauvage and the Dutch ...

In the decades to come, the U.S. military may manufacture combat parts and supplies on the battlefield using robots made of molecules all working together as part of a molecular factory. The nanoscale ...

Augmanity, a research company based in Rehovot, Israel, has synthesized molecular machines, made from nucleic acids, which are capable of digesting viral RNA and utilizing it to assemble additional ...

A major advance in nanotechnology with far-reaching potential benefits in medicine and other fields is to be announced at this year's BA Festival of Science in Dublin. Scientists have built molecules ...

Jeremy Barton is creating an institute to create basic molecular machines. A primary focus is to create basic motors. We need design tools, motors and more. He previously created an group that ...

(Nanowerk News) The swarming behavior of about 100 million molecular machines can be controlled by applying simple mechanical stimuli such as extension and contraction. This method could lead to the ...

Fungi are present on the skin of around 70 percent of the population without causing harm or benefit. Some fungal infections, like athlete’s foot, are minor. Others, like Candida albicans, can be ...

Theoretical chemists have constructed a molecular gyroscope that can be controlled remotely by light. They also succeeded in characterizing the rotational movements of this synthetic nanomachine with ...
