Microscopic geared metamachines - Nature Communications
Miniaturizing mechanical machines is crucial for advancing nanotechnology. Here, authors present microscopic gear trains and micromachines powered by light-driven metasurfaces, achieving precise sub-micrometer control and sizes down to 10 μm. Their on-chip fabrication enables seamless integration and parallelization, offering new possibilities for micro- and nanoscale systems
