An international team of scientists headed by the University of Bonn has developed a novel type of nanomotor. It is driven by a clever mechanism and can perform pulsing movements. The researchers are now planning to fit it with a coupling and install it as a drive in complex machines. Their results will be published in the magazine “Nature Nanotechnology.” STRICTLY EMBARGOED: Do not publish before Thursday, October 19, 5 p.m. CEST!
