Molecular robotics

Molecular robotics involves designing tiny machines built from individual molecules that can perform specific tasks. These nanoscale devices are crafted using principles from chemistry and biology, allowing them to move, assemble, or respond to their environment with precision. Think of them as microscopic robots that can, for example, target specific cells, deliver drugs directly where needed, or assemble other molecules. This emerging field combines engineering and molecular science to create highly specialized tools at an incredibly small scale, opening new possibilities in medicine, manufacturing, and materials science.
