  • NANOMOTORS AND MOTION-BASED DETECTION OF BIOMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS
    Publication number: 20130084569
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are disclosed for detecting biomolecular interactions based on the motion of nanomotors. In one aspect, a method of detecting biomolecular interactions based on a motion of a nanomachine includes functionalizing a nanomachine with a capture probe adapted to interact with biological targets; and detecting a presence of the biological targets in an environment based on a motion of the nanomachine.
