Parts exchange: Why molecular machines are like used cars by Leake, M, Wadhams, G, Armitage, J

“…A novel approach now allows us to monitor single proteins in complicated molecular machines, and it seems that biological components wear out and get replaced just as they do in man-made machines.…”

Soft Autonomous Materials—Using Active Elasticity and Embedded Distributed Computation by Correll, Nikolaus, Önal, Çağdaş D., Liang, Haiyi, Schoenfeld, Erik, Rus, Daniela

“…As a step towards bridging the gap between man-made machines and their biological counterparts, we developed a class of soft mechanisms that can undergo shape change and locomotion under pneumatic actuation. …”
