Stories about: nanomachines

Rotors for Future Nanomachines Modeled at Rice Investigators at the Rice University, in the United States, announce that they were recently able to model tiny, nanoscale rotors, that could be used in the future to set the basis for advanced nanomachines. The achievement already elicited a lot of interest among academics. The team created an animation which shows ... 1 February 2011 10:13 GMT Repulsive Casimir Effect Discovered Scientists working to innovate the field of nanotechnology are arguing that, in the near future, nanomachines – as in small robots capable of operations at the nanoscale – will undoubtedly be used to fix our bodies, in the hospitals, in the military, and in space exploration. They say that one of the main... 8 December 2009 09:18 GMT Nanomachines Powered by Bacteria A new discovery in the field of nanotechnology could produce the smallest "engines" in the world. The best part is that scientists will be able to remotely control them using rays of UV light that make a group of bacteria push the nanomachines both in straight line and on curved trajectories.Researchers led by Min J... 11 July 2007 09:12 GMT
