The most crucial factor in safeguarding a car surface is the excellent durability of automotive coatings. Protective coating materials should also be transparent and colorless to preserve the product’s natural color. However, it isn’t easy to provide a self-healing function while satisfying all of these conditions. Existing commercially available materials have some limitations. Materials with

Inspired by iconic Dutch windmills and biological motor proteins, scientists from the Delft University of Technology have developed the world’s smallest, self-configuring flow-driven motors from DNA. This flow-driven rotor converts energy from an electrical or salt gradient into useful mechanical work. Dr. Xin Shi, a postdoctoral researcher in professor Cees Dekker’s lab in the Bionanoscience
