Ecosystems are characterized by particular scaling laws describing, for example, the relationship between animal abundance and species body weight. It is hypothesized that technological systems follow similar scaling laws, where the abundance of a type of machine correlates with its size. Human progress continuously expands the range of accessible machine sizes, creating a technology trend toward vast numbers of microscopic machines. Current research related to nanomotors, such as the report by Kumar et al. in this issue of ACS Nano describing advances in controlling biomolecular motors, lays the scientific foundation for this trend.
