The potential for nano-machines that 'work' inside the human body took a step closer to reality today after researchers designed a microscopic nano-engine. Just a few billionths of a metre in size ...

Physicists are building a nano engine that runs on a single atom and will arguably be the most efficient ever made.

Cambridge researchers say their ANTs (actuating nano-transducers) could one day treat living cells. Like real ants, the nano-devices produce large forces relative to their weight. Researchers at ...

An international team of scientists has recently developed a novel type of nano engine made of DNA. It is driven by a clever mechanism and can perform pulsing movements. The researchers are now ...

A nano-scale engine made from tiny charged particles of gold has just been declared the world's smallest by researchers at the University of Cambridge who created it.

Folding DNA. shutterstock But we have now produced nano-engines that can be operated with beams of light to work pistons, pumps and valves. Made from gold nanoparticles bound together by a heat ...

Researchers have built a nano-engine that could form the basis for future applications in nano-robotics, including robots small enough to enter living cells.

Kontax Engineering have once again taken to Kickstarter to raise funds for their new Nano Fin Stirling Engine which is available for delivery before the holiday season with pledges starting from ...
