Researchers have engineered a super small nanodragster that improves prior nanocar designs, which could accelerate the evolution of molecular machines.

“We made a new version of a nanocar that looks like a dragster,” explained James Tour, a chemist from Rice University. Tour participated in study and says that the hot rod design has smaller front wheels on a shorter axle and bigger back wheels on a longer axle.

The small vehicle is about 50,000 times thinner than a human hair and is powered be powered by heat or an electrical field.
