Biomolecular Motor

In this article, the main discussion is the inability to create a nano-motor (or functional nanoelectromechanical system) to power the nano structures that can be created. The solution is to utilize a biomolecular particle such as F1-ATPase and myosin to power the nano structure. Although it is conceivable that we will be able to construct nano-motors in the near future, I thought this was an interesting and clever biological solution for the time being. I found this article while researching for the nano-bots and I think it is an interesting possibility.
