A Nano-Sized Electric Motor

Scientists have downsized the electric motor to the molecular level. That is, they've created an electrical motor that's the size of a nanometer. About 60,000 of them equal the width of a human hair.

The molecular motor is a breakthrough that could lead to new types of electrical circuitry, according to Charles Sykes, an associate professor of chemistry at Tufts University in Massachusetts.

@psilocyberspaceman Haha, we shot 'em all at once, just getting these videos on a little late ;) But good observation.

@pbotas HAHA you are right. In modern times our best inventions are almost instantly weaponized bc of the massive military industry. We're fucked, no doubt.

[pbotas]

we're fucked

@transientdreams hilarious comment!

[creativeprojects720]

@pbotas well I hope you are not right. I hope we are not fucked.

It can fit into the wavelength of visible light

Bryce is yummy!

@creativeprojects720 Tried that many times. It is not a problem. We have the cleanest water in the world. That’s one of the beauties of Iceland.

@TheDailyConversation never mind stupid people who rather make stupid comments about shirts than actually listen to what's the video is about , thank you for you efforts guys

[creativeprojects720]

@psilocyberspaceman you need to go get your own water , and try out what that is like, go get it out of a lake.

This vid begs the question: How many surfers does it take to badly explain Nano-technology?
