Researchers Build Nanoscale Flow-Driven Rotary Motor That Can Generate Mechanical Work
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology have developed the smallest ever flow-driven motor from DNA that utilises electrical or salt gradients to generate mechanical energy. For the construction of the motor, the team has used a technique called DNA origami which uses specific interactions between complementary DNA pairs to build 2D and 3...

A Child Swallows A Battery Every 3 Hours. This Remarkable Pill-Sized Origami Robot Could Remove Them.
After 1-year-old Emmett Rauch ate a lithium battery, he began vomiting blood, prompting a visit to critical care and emergency surgery. A doctor would later compare the toddler's throat to the scene of a detonated firecracker. It took years and dozens of procedures to reconstruct Emmett's windpipe before he could breathe on his own.
