This innovation uses a single-molecule motor powered by electric current, with potential applications in nanoscale electronic devices. Researchers from IIT Madras and other institutions contributed to the study.Why it mattersThe Archimedes' screw, an ancient device used for irrigation, has inspired a new motor that significantly increases electricity. This breakthrough is part of ongoing research in molecular electronics, which aims to control nanoscale electronic devices. The study's findi
