How to shift gears in a molecular motor

Jan 29, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Scientists have long strived to develop artificial molecular motors that can convert energy into directed motion. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have now presented a solution to a challenging problem: how motion can be transferred in a controlled manner from one place to another...

Utilising active microparticles for artificial intelligence

Jan 29, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Artificial intelligence using neural networks performs calculations digitally with the help of microelectronic chips. Physicists at Leipzig University have now created a type of neural network that works not with electricity but with so-called active colloidal particles. In their publication in the journal Nature Communications...
