DNA robots move with purpose

Published in Physics World, 12 May 2010

Two independent teams in the US have made DNA robots mimic the protein motors in our bodies – be it walking without help along predefined routes or taking cargo from A to B.

The experiments, which are the first to truly combine advances in our knowledge of DNA structure and dynamics, suggest that nanorobots could soon be performing autonomous, useful tasks. […]
