The University of Manchester in England and the University of Strasbourg in France formed a research team to jointly create a new artificial micro motor. Its design inspiration comes from proteins in the human body, which convert chemical energy into mechanical motion by mimicking the natural mechanisms that drive life. The relevant results were published in the latest issue of the journal Nature. The team has created unique new materials by simulating molecular machines used in biology - small natural mechanisms responsible for important tasks such as transporting substances, processing information, or replication - that do not exist in nature. The size of the newly developed motor is very small, even much thinner than a strand of hair. They are embedded in a synthetic gel material. After adding "fuel", it will work like a small car engine to convert fuel into energy and discharge waste. The energy generated in this process is used to rotate the motor, thereby twisting the molecular chains in the gel, making the gel itself shrink and store energy, which is a bit like twisting the elastic band to store elastic potential energy. The team demonstrated that these motors can be used to open or close tiny holes, as well as accelerate certain chemical reactions. In the future, this technology is expected to bring revolutionary changes in multiple fields. In the field of medicine, such molecular machines can be used for targeted drug delivery to improve treatment efficiency; In terms of energy, they may provide a new energy storage solution; In nanotechnology, these motors may become key components for constructing complex nanostructures. The newly developed artificial motor, although extremely small, can work like a small car engine after adding fuel. This not only provides a new perspective for understanding the basic processes of life, but also brings broad prospects for future technological applications. In addition, this progress also emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. The integration of knowledge and technology from multiple fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering has jointly promoted scientific progress. With further research and development, we look forward to seeing more technological innovations based on this principle, bringing profound changes to human society. (New Society)
