A Brownian motor is a type of nanoscale device that utilizes the random motion of particles, known as Brownian motion, to produce directed motion or transport. Brownian motion refers to the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid, resulting from collisions with the molecules of the surrounding medium. While this motion is typically chaotic and non-directional, Brownian motors exploit asymmetries in their design or environment to convert this random motion into useful work or net directional transport.
