Abstract in brief

  • Rotary motors, ranging from large windmills to tiny ATP synthase, are crucial for energy conversion but creating synthetic nanoscale turbines has been difficult.
  • Researchers have designed nanoscale DNA origami turbines with three chiral blades that can rotate directionally using electrochemical potentials, achieving sustained rotations of up to 10 revolutions per second.
  • Simulation studies reveal that these turbines' rotation can reverse under high salt concentrations, and their ability to function autonomously suggests potential advancements in nanoscale robotics.
