DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Scientists have converted skin cells from healthy adults directly into motor neurons without going through a stem cell state. The technique makes it possible to study motor neurons of the human ...

Toxic link A toxin in blue-green algae could be taken up by the body's proteins and trigger motor neurone disease, new research suggests. Recent studies have identified a link between the consumption ...

This new motor is so tiny even an HIV virus dwarfs it. A team of physicists led by Philip Ketterer of the Technical University of Munich have just built, molecule by molecule, the smallest rotary ...

Scientists have unveiled a functional motor made with just 16 atoms. The researchers, from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa), made the tiny motor, which is ...
