DNA Motors Reach 30 nm/s Speeds

Can DNA-nanoparticle motors get up to speed with motor proteins? Credit: Illustration by Takanori Harashima Researchers leverage their understanding of molecular motors to improve nanoscale artificial motors, aiming to bridge the speed gap between artificial motors and motor proteins. DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly what they sound like: tiny artificial motors that harness the structures of … Read more
