</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The remarkable performance of biomotors is inspiring scientists to create synthetic nanomachines that mimic the function of these amazing natural systems.<b>
</b>This presentation will discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the design and operation of artificial nanomotors and demonstrate their prospects for diverse biomedical applications. Particular attention will be given to catalytic nanowire and microtube
motors propelled by the catalytic decomposition of a chemical fuel, as well as to fuel-free (magnetically or electrically-driven) nanomotors. While artificial nanomotors still pale compared to nature biomotors, recent advances indicate significant improvements
in the <span style="color:black">velocity, power, motion control, cargo-towing force, scope and versatility
</span>of such catalytic nanomotors<b>. </b><em><span style="font-weight:normal">The greatly improved capabilities of chemically-powered artificial nanomotors could pave the way to exciting and important applications ranging from drug delivery to nanosurgery,
and to sophisticated nanoscale devices performing complex tasks. </span></em></span><em><span style="font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></em></p>
