Abstract
Techniques and systems are disclosed for detecting biomolecular interactions based on the motion of nanomotors. In one aspect, a method of detecting biomolecular interactions based on a motion of a nanomachine includes functionalizing a nanomachine with a capture probe adapted to interact with biological targets; and detecting a presence of the biological targets in an environment based on a motion of the nanomachine.

A method of detecting biomolecular interactions based on a motion of a nanomachine, the method comprising:
- functionalizing a nanomachine with a capture probe adapted to interact with biological targets;
- and
- detecting a presence of the biological targets in an environment based on a motion of the nanomachine.
A device for detecting biomolecular interactions, the system comprising:
- a nanomachine functionalized with a capture probe adapted to interact with biological targets,
- wherein the functionalized nanomachine is adapted to detect a presence of the biological targets in an environment based on a motion of the nanomachine.
