+ - Single molecule is tiniest electric motor ever->

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "For the first time, an electric motor has been made from a single molecule. At 1 nanometre long, it's the smallest electric motor ever. Its creators plan to submit their design to Guinness World Records, but the teeny motor could have practical applications, such as pushing fluid through narrow pipes in "lab-on-a-chip" devices. E. Charles Sykes at Tufts University in Boston and colleagues anchored lopsided butyl methyl sulphide to a copper surface and flowed current through it."

The difference between dogs and cats is that dogs come when they're called. Cats take a message and get back to you.
