Check out how we made a minuscule motor rotate 24 times in one direction on its own! Huge thanks to all involved, especially @profdaveleigh.bsky.social for making this work possible @pubs.acs.org Huakui, Axel, @stefanborsley.bsky.social @benjaminoacid.bsky.social & Alex pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
