Graphical Abstract

Regulierbarer Nanoroboter: Eine DNA-basierte Maschine wurde entwickelt, die sich selbständig fortbewegen kann und deren Bewegung und Geschwindigkeit mit Licht gesteuert wird (siehe Bild). Die Maschine erinnert an zelluläre Motorproteine, wie sie vor allem in Pflanzen gefunden werden.
