On the path toward molecular robots

On the path toward molecular robots Sapporo, Japan (SPX) Jul 11, 2016 - Researchers are working on mimicking cellular systems to develop molecular motors that can move or even deliver drugs to target tissues. Engineering such motors may ultimately lead to molecular robots that can execute more complex tasks. To this end, researchers must find ways to convert motion at the molecular level to motion at the macroscopic level. They also must find ways to cause chemical ... more
