(Phys.org)—For the first time, researchers have demonstrated a DNA nanomotor that can "walk" along a track with sustainable motion. The nanomotor also has the highest fuel efficiency for any type of walking nanomotor, or "nanowalker," reported to date, using approximately one fuel molecule per step.
