Molecules Controlled Using UV Light
Filed in archive Research on July 7, 2007
Using a special dye molecule, azobenzene, which is two benzene rings linked together, combined with an ultraviolet laser, Berkeley scientists were able to make molecular assemblies change shape at will. This can be seen as a version of proto-nanorobotics. Most current nanorobotics involves only one piece or switch - future assemblages may have hundreds, thousands, or even millions of individual components.
