A micromotor powered solely by water manages to rotate without electricity, magnets or contact: a breakthrough that could transform the manufacture of microscopic materials For decades, getting a microscopic object to rotate in a controlled way has required recourse to magnetic fields, electrical impulses or complex chemical processes. An international group of researchers has just demonstrated that there is another much simpler way: to take adv…
