Go Speed Racer! Revving up the world's fastest nanomotors In a "major step" toward a practical energy source for powering tomorrow's nanomachines, researchers in Arizona report development of a new generation of sub-microscopic nanomotors that are up to 10 times more powerful than existing motors. Their study is scheduled for the May 27 issue of... view more (2008-05-01)
Biologists learn structure of enzyme needed to power 'molecular motor' Researchers at Purdue University and The Catholic University of America have discovered the structure of an enzyme essential for the operation of "molecular motors" that package DNA into the head segment of some viruses during their assembly. view more (2007-03-23)
