Description
Atomic motor. Here it is in operation: www.youtube.com/embed/g7COlp6h…</a> " frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen>

The above is the real thing spinning counterclockwise with atomic models of the real thing right below it. It spins counterclockwise (grey of the model, black of the real thing). It rachets around.
It could be transporting itself from one position to the next. Yes, transporting. Quantum physics.

The rotor is a four-atom acetylene molecule, which rotates on the surface of the stator. The whole machine measures less than a nanometer wide.
The stator is a cluster of six palladium atoms and six gallium atoms arranged in a rough triangular shape. Basically six atoms wide.
THIS IS PRACTICAL! It can help measure and study the processes and reasons for energy dissipation in quantum tunneling. Used in electronics.
