A four wheel drive car just 1 nm long which uses electrons as fuel has been developed by researchers at the University of Groningen, who hope it might find uses in nanometre-sized robotics or as tiny transporters to move molecules around. The vehicle has an organic carbon-based frame and four wheel or rotor parts connected to the body via carbon-carbon double bonds. It navigates its copper surface when a nearby scanning tunnelling microscope fires electrons at the bonds, causing them to break and reform the other way around – causing the wheels to turn and the car to move forward.

Molecular nanotechnology could allow us to build the products we need with the sort of precision that right now only nature can do. Mimicking nature is a recurring theme in nanotechnology and molecular nanotechnology, inspired by the natural nanostructures found in our own bodies, offers many exciting potential outcomes. "Molecular nanotechnology is the expected ability to build our products with molecular-level precision, as nature can do," says Christine Peterson, president of the Foresight Nanotech Institute in California. "It will bring unprecedented quality, energy efficiency and environmental sustainability" Via Szabolcs Kósa

Carbon nanotubes can create a 'perfect black' that visually wipes out a dimension, making 3D objects look 2D. When draped over a substance, a thin coat of them renders the object invisible by absorbing all the light coming in.

Carbon Nanotubes are being created that can visually wipe out a dimension and create a 'perfect black'. Minor invisibility may not be a thing of science fiction for much longer. Similar substances are suspected to account for "missing matter" in the universe.

Experiments on animals have been the subject of criticism for decades, but there is no prospect of a move away from them any time soon. The number of tests involving laboratory animals has in fact gone up. Now, researchers have found an alternative approach: they hope sensor nanoparticles will reduce the need for animal testing.

At the University of Stuttgart and the nearby Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, researchers are taking the notion of smaller, more compact engines to a micro-machinery extreme. Their new power generator is a single particle--just 3 mircrometers wide--that functions like a Stirling engine to generate actual work.

Wind and solar power plants are awesome, cost-effective, infinite-until-the-Sun-burns-out solutions -- but when the sun goes in, or the wind dies down, you need a backup power source.
