According to research published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, scientists have created the world’s first working nanoscale electromotor. The science team designed a turbine engineered from DNA that is powered by hydrodynamic flow inside a nanopore, a nanometer-sized hole in a membrane of solid-state silicon nitride. Scientists have created the world’s first working nanoscale electomotor....
by Ross Barker, University of Glasgow Lateral flow detection of HCV LAMP assay. a The mechanism of the lateral flow strip15. Two primers, FLP and BLP, are pre-labeled with Biotin and FITC, respectively. The amplicon resulting from the LAMP reaction, contains both labeled primers as double-stranded DNA represented schematically by two gray lines. It is added onto the sample pad...
Molecular machines are incredibly small and powerful pieces of biology that power our bodies and most of the natural world. Despite being essential to all life on earth and having huge potential for revolutionising nanotechnology, humans are a way off being able to replicate them ourselves; because we lack the ability to control structures that...
