Nanoclay Nanomotors: Nanorobots Constructed from Nanoclay: Using Nature to Create Self‐Propelled Autonomous Nanomachines (Adv. Funct. Mater. 40/2018)

The mass production of nanomachines is challenging issue. In article number 1802762, Martin Pumera and co‐workers show that with the use of naturally occurring nanotubes, Halloysite nanoclay, functional nanomotors can be fabricated in huge quantities. These nanotubes can be mined in ton quantities....

Description
Summary:The mass production of nanomachines is challenging issue. In article number 1802762, Martin Pumera and co‐workers show that with the use of naturally occurring nanotubes, Halloysite nanoclay, functional nanomotors can be fabricated in huge quantities. These nanotubes can be mined in ton quantities. Functional motors bind strongly with heavy metals, which making them useful in environmental remediation.
