To‐down control of small motion is possible through top‐down controlled molecular motors
in replacement of larger actuators like MEMS or NEMS (micro‐or nano‐electromechanical …

The designability, functionalization, and diverse secondary structures of DNA enable the
construction of DNA motors with stimuli-responsiveness. Therefore, it has been widely used …

Several DNA nanomotors have been recently constructed in laboratories worldwide. These
machines are, however, relatively slow and do not perform continuous rotations. We have …

Creating artificial macromolecular transport systems that can support the movement of
molecules along defined routes is a key goal of nanotechnology. Here, we report the bottom …

Inspired by nature, nanomotors have been developed that have great potential in
microfluidics and biomedical applications. The development of the rotary nanomotor, which …

Synthetic molecular motors can be fuelled by the hydrolysis,,, or hybridization,,,,,, of DNA.
Such motors can move autonomously,,,,, and programmably, and long-range transport has …

Miniaturization is an important aspect of device fabrication. Despite the advancements of
modern top‐down approaches, scaling‐down to the sub‐nanometer size is still a challenge …
