Nano-machines are ultra-tiny mechanical devices fabricated by assembling one atom at a time. These machines have a very wide applicability for operating at the molecular level — attacking diseases, ...

Move over human chemists, there are now molecule-sized robot arms that do chemical synthesis with high selectivity and efficiency, and take no vacation. A team of researchers led by chemist David A.

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 ...

If the new nano-machines built at The Ohio State University look familiar, it's because they were designed with full-size mechanical parts such as hinges and pistons in mind. The project is the first ...

(Phys.org)—A team from the Cardiff University's Schools of Biosciences and Physics and Astronomy have made a breakthrough in our understanding of proteins - the workhorse molecules of the cell and ...
