Micro/nanomotors driven by different gases

Caption

The image illustrates gas-driven micro/nanomotors (MNMs) and their biomedical applications. These motors utilize chemically generated gases (e.g., CO, H₂, H₂S, O₂, NO, CO₂) as propulsive forces to achieve autonomous motion. They can overcome physiological barriers (e.g., tumor tissue, mucus barriers, blood-brain barrier) for targeted drug delivery and therapeutic gas release.
