Exploring the World of Nanocars: Fact or Fiction?

  • Thread starter Zygotic Embryo
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses a nanocar made by physicists out of a single molecule. The reliability of an article about it on about.com is questioned. The conversation also includes a request for help solving a temperature problem involving mixing hot and cold liquids. The initial temperatures of the hot tea and cold milk are requested in the problem. Finally, the conversation advises to use Google for more information on the nanocar.

is It real?.. Physicists made a nanocar, out of a single molecule..

on about.com they have an article, but i doubt it's reliable.


and while your at it, explain this to me :confused: :confused: :confused:
I need some help, understanding and solving this problem.


When you mix hot and cold liquids you can find the temperature of the mixture by using the formula T= ah+bc divided by a+b, where T is the temperature of the mixture, h is the temperature of the hot liquid, c is the temperature of the cold liquid, a and b respresent the amounts of hot and cold liquids. Suppose you mix hot tea and cold milk in a ratio a:b of 9:1 and find that the temperature of the mixture is 117degrees You then change the trea:milk ratio to 2:1 and the temperature drops 96degrees. Find the initial temperatures of the tea and Milk.

What is a nanocar?

A nanocar is a tiny vehicle that is often used in nanotechnology research. It is typically made up of a chassis and four wheels, and can be controlled and manipulated at the molecular level.

How does a nanocar work?

Nanocars are powered by chemical reactions, such as the breaking and forming of chemical bonds. They are also equipped with molecular motors that provide propulsion by converting energy into movement.

What are the potential applications of nanocars?

Nanocars have the potential to revolutionize fields such as medicine, materials science, and electronics. They can be used for targeted drug delivery, building new materials with specific properties, and creating nanoscale electronic devices.

What are the challenges in creating nanocars?

One of the biggest challenges in creating nanocars is designing and controlling their movement at the molecular level. Additionally, finding ways to make them more stable and durable is also a major hurdle.

How are nanocars different from regular cars?

Nanocars are significantly smaller than regular cars, with sizes ranging from a few nanometers to a few hundred nanometers. They also operate on a completely different scale, using molecular interactions instead of mechanical parts for movement.
