Firefly robots “communicate” in flight using colored lights 4.4

Electroluminescent particles in the artificial muscles of microscopic drones glow in different colors, allowing you to track their movements and interact with them right in the air.

Firefly beetles carry special organs in which photochemical reactions can occur, causing their bellies to shine quite brightly in the dark. This glow performs communication functions: with its help, insects look for mating partners, scare off predators, and so on. Now robots are also capable of such interaction.

The miniature machines developed by engineers at […]

A nanomotor based on DNA origami has been created

DNA is a multifunctional biomolecule that has unique properties and performs a number of functions. Man was able to supplement the range of its capabilities with artificial ones — and now a nanoscale motor based on DNA origami technology and capable of self-assembly has been added to them.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is one of the key biomolecules whose role is to store and copy genetic information. However, its functions are actually quite diverse: DNA can actively participate in the regulation […]
