Nano-crane Rotation

Caption

Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a novel propulsion technology for nanorobots: Electric fields drive nano-robot arms a hundred thousand times faster than with the biochemical processes used to date. The picture shows a nano-crane rotating between two docking points (red and blue).
