Technomimetics

Technomimetics are molecular systems that can mimic man-made devices.

The term was first introduced in 1997.

[1] The current set of technomimetic molecules[2] includes motors,[3] rotors,[4] gears,[5] gyroscopes,[6] tweezers,[7] and other molecular devices.

[8] Technomimetics[9] can be considered as the essential components of molecular machines and have the primary use in molecular nanotechnology.
