Scientists have investigated the rotation of molecules on a fixed surface to understand how they may help in the development of future rotor-based machinery at nanoscale level. Scientists believe that this could be the first step towards the fabrication of machines for the generation of currents at small scale.

This is possibly the first step in creating the next power source for humans. They are working on making a bio-nano powered cell, in hopes of replacing batteries and other small power sources. While nanoroters have been around a while, they couldn't discover a way to attach them to a surface, so that current could be generated. Now they have! Move out of the way Energizer Bunny!

And the next thing you hear is that an oil company has bought the technology and locked it away or the inventors have gone missing...
