A microscopic machine able to manipulate individual molecules could allow researchers to construct medications and other compounds from scratch.
The robots are made up of 150 carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms, and are able to manipulate a single molecule at a time. Compared to a Lego construction, the tiny bot is operated by chemistry, responding to commands programmed by the scientist with chemical inputs. According to the team, the molecular robots could one day be used to build new drugs, reduce power requirements, and help usher in a new generation of miniature devices.
