Nanorobots and biological applications of smart tubes

ABSTRACT: The mimicry of macroscale machine-based function at the nanoscale could revolutionize nanomanufacturing and nanorobotics. The fabrication of autonomous nanomachines which could one day navigate inside the human body remains a challenging dream in nanotechnology and biomedicine. Over the last few years, there has been increasing interest in the use of chemistry to propel tiny engines in a similar fashion that nature uses biochemistry to power biological motors.
