Nanomotors for glucose-powered catalytic motion

Metabolically driven autonomous motility is the key indicator of life, ubiquitous in all living organisms including molecules, proteins, and organelles. For example, bacteria can ingeniously swim towards higher glucose concentration or escape from toxic chemical environment through autonomous motility. Recently, a research team at POSTECH has devised a biocompatible nanomotor that artificially realizes movement by mimicking the...
