Naturally occurring nanomotors are biological motor proteins powered by catalytic reactions, which converts the chemical energy into mechanical energy directly. It has been demonstrated recently that using a simple catalytic reaction and an asymmetric bimetallic nanorod, one can produce catalytic nanomotors that mimic the autonomous motions of bionanomotors. Yet, the construction of artificial nanomachines remains a major contemporary challenge due to the lack of a flexible fabrication technique that can design the desired dynamic components. \u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, I will discuss our current nanomotor research based on a fabrication method called dynamic shadowing growth technique, and will show some nanomotor components, systems, and their motion behaviors.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Dr. Zhao, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Georgia, presents \u0022Catalytic Nanomotors: Challenges and Opportunities.\u0022","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Catalytic Nanomotors: Challenges and Opportunities\u0022"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2010-01-20 13:56:46","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:49:32","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-01-27T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2010-01-27T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-01-27T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-01-27 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-01-27 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-01-27 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.nano.uga.edu\/","title":"Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.physast.uga.edu\/~zhaoy\/","title":"Yiping Zhao Research Group"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.mirc.gatech.edu\/nanotech.php","title":"Nano@Tech Seminar Series"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"569","name":"bioengineering"},{"id":"4315","name":"nano@tech"},{"id":"5190","name":"nanoelectronics"},{"id":"8285","name":"nanomotors"},{"id":"2290","name":"photonics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
