Micro/Nanomachines and Living Biosystems: From Simple Interactions to Microcyborgs

Miniaturization of machines into the micro/nanoscale is an essential ingredient toward better understanding and control of the microscopic world. As an emerging research area, micro/nanomachines have attracted substantial efforts of researchers from multiple disciplines. Mimicking the biological machines in nature, artificial micro/nanomachines are becoming increasingly sophisticated so that they can serve as useful tools to …

From Nanomotors to Micromotors: The Influence of the Size of an Autonomous Bubble-Propelled Device upon Its Motion

Synthetic autonomously moving nano and micromotors are in the forefront of nanotechnology. Different sizes of nano and micromotors have been prepared, but the systematic study of the influence of their sizes on motion is lacking. We synthesized different sizes of tubular micro/nanomotors by membrane template assisted electrodeposition. The influence of dimensions on the dynamics of …
