Nubots

Nubot refers to "nucleic acid robots". Nubots are organic molecular machines at the nanoscale. Scientists say that the DNA structure can provide means to assemble 2D and 3D nanomechanical devices. DNA based machines can be activated using small molecules, proteins and other molecules of DNA, thus giving rise to Nubots.
