“Nanodragster”- A new molecular machine developed by scientists
7 January 2010Researchers at Texas has developed a new molecular machine that is much more efficient that the current molecular machines available. According to the research findings as published in the ACS Organic Letters, this machine can outperform the traditional nano machines and researchers believe that it is the beginning of new generation state of the art molecular machines.
The latest machine which is less than the width of 1/50,000th of the human hair will find many applications in many areas including electronic and computer devices, The molecular machine, which resembles like a hot-rod was developed by controlling the motion of small molecules and controlling the motion as per design, many more futuristic nano and molecular machines can be made.
Researchers James and Kevin have made a nanocar for which wheel were especially designed from C60 (Molecular carbon having 60 carbon atoms). Having bulky wheel, the motion of the car is limited or restricted and these drawbacks were later addressed by incorporating some of the newer techniques in it. These include the quality of the material for making wheel and reducing the front axle size, which makes it much more comfortable to work at lower temperature than nanocar. The “nanodragster” thus formed by improving the design and which can lead to the development of many futuristic molecular and nano vehicles.
