Lecture Title:	Biomolecular Motor Nano/Micro Hybrid Devices for Power Extraction and Biosensing
Abstract:	Biomolecular motors are nanometer-scale molecular machines that convert chemical energy into mechanical work. They are responsible for mass transport and cell movement in biological systems. The nanotechnology research community has recently been exploring the development of new hybrid devices that incorporate biomolecular motors in a non-biological engineered structure. Manipulation of nanomechanical structures using these motors is an excellent example of utilizing life's natural resources to power man-made systems at high fuel-to-power conversion efficiency. This talk discusses our recent research on nano/micrometer-scale force production and molecular sensing with biomolecular motors. Expected advantages and technological challenges accompanying the development of the hybrid devices are also discussed.
