Nanorobots: The Ultimate Wireless Self-Propelled Sensing and Actuating Devices

Natural motor proteins, “bionanorobots,” have inspired researchers to develop artificial nanomachines (nanorobots) able to move autonomously by the conversion of chemical to mechanical energy. Such artificial nanorobots are self-propelled by the electrochemical decomposition of the fuel (up to now, hydrogen peroxide). Several approaches have been developed to provide nanorobots with some functionality, such as for …

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoretic assays of p-phenylene-bis-4,4′-(1-aryl-2,6-diphenylpyridinium) molecular wires

A nonaqueous CE system for separation and detection of novel electron-dopable molecular wires based on p-phenylene-bis-4,4′-(1-aryl-2,6-diphenylpyridinium) oligomers is described. The method is based on the coupling of CE separation in pure organic solvent, DMF with 50 mM acetic acid, and UV detection at 338 nm. The system offers a rapid measurement in less than 20 …
