In this review we chart recent advances in what is at once an old and very new field of
endeavour—the achievement of control of motion at the molecular level including solid-state …

The advances in micro-and nanofabrication technologies enable the preparation of
increasingly smaller mechanical transducers capable of detecting the forces, motion …

Synthetic nanomotors, which convert chemical energy into autonomous motion, hold
considerable promise for diverse applications. In this paper, we show the use of synthetic …

In nature, biological machines can perform sophisticated and subtle functions to maintain
the metabolism of organisms. Inspired from these gorgeous works of nature, scientists have …

A key approach for designing bioinspired machines is to transfer concepts from nature to
man-made structures by integrating biomolecules into artificial mechanical systems. This …
