A nanomotor's a molecular device capable of converting energy into movement. It can typically generate forces on the order of piconewtons. A proposed branch of research's the integration of molecular motor proteins found in living cells into molecular motors implanted in artificial devices. Such a motor protein would be able to move a "cargo" within that device, similarly to how kinesin moves various molecules along tracks of microtubules inside cells. Starting and stopping the movement of such… (More on Nanomotor)
