Adding another string to their bow Japanese researchers from National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) has created a micromotor motorized by shifting bacteria or microbes hoping that in near future microbial movement will revolutionize as a potential power supplier for microdevices.
The micromotor comprises of 20-micron diameter spinning motor with 6 blades spinning the motor assembled in a 0.5-micron deep and 13-micron diameter furrow fixed into a silicon substratum. In this micromotor the outer surface of the feet and the furrow are nourished with proteins that press on the bacteria to shift in one direction, spinning the motor and pushing the feet while moving through the furrow.
However, it is just a beginning in the field of microbial motion; the initial step is on the right track.
