Smallest and Fastest Nanomotor yet
A team of researchers led by Emma Fan from the University of Texas have developed the smallest, fastest, and longest lasting nanomotor to date.
During experimentation, biochemicals were coated onto the nanomotor to simulate drug delivery. As the team increased the rotational speed of the nanomotor, the more quickly the chemicals were shed off. In terms of drug delivery, this is very important. Timing of dispersal can be critically important to the drug’s efficacy.
