Origami Motor
Through a technique known as dna origami scientists have created the fastest most persistent dna nano motor yet.
Origami motor. Dna origami allowed us to tinker with the structure of the motor and tease out the design parameters that control its properties the new dna motor is rod shaped and uses rna fuel to roll. New dna origami motor breaks speed record for nano machines by victoria corless mar 5 2020 scientists pave way for nanobots to one day diagnose and treat disease with the first dna based motor to run on chemical energy. Angewandte chemie published the findings which provide a blueprint for how to optimize the design of motors at the nanoscale hundreds of times smaller than the typical human cell.
Inspired by nature scientists from emory university have reported a new class of nanoscale motors created using dna origami.
