The principles that rule the nanoscale are completely different from the ones which govern the macroscopic world and, therefore, the collaboration of scientists with expertise in different fields is required for the effective fabrication of these tiny machines. In this review, the most recent advances carried out in the synthesis and application of nanomachines for diagnosis applications will be presented in order to provide a picture of their potential in the detection of important biomolecules or pathogens in a selective and controlled manne.engAtribución 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/journal articlehttp://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijmshttp://www.ucm.es/valletregigroupopen access615.46546NanomotorsBiomolecule detectionSelf-propelled nanosensorsMaterialesQuímica inorgánica (Farmacia)3312 Tecnología de Materiales
