Technomimetics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Technomimetics are molecular systems that can mimic man-made devices. The term was first introduced in 1997.[1] The current set of technomimetic molecules[2] includes motors,[3] rotors,[4] gears,[5] gyroscopes,[6] tweezers,[7] and other molecular devices.[8] Technomimetics[9] can be considered as the essential components of molecular machines and have the primary use in molecular nanotechnology.
