Nature can give models for the next generation robots and microchips.

Muscle cells can rotate small-size generators.
The MIT researchers are creating new. Low voltage artificial cells for improving the performance of the microrobots. (1)This is one way to improve the operational areas of small-size flying robots. There is another way to make the power source that uses biological components. The idea is that the muscle cells of flies would connect to cranks.
And those systems are rotating miniaturized generators. This kind of robot can drink sugar-liquid. And the muscle cells can be natural but genetically transformed that they cannot split. Removing that ability guarantees. The cells are staying in the right form and right places.
Or those cells can be cloned and grown in cell cultures. This kind of system can work by using the same nutrient with living organisms. And those miniature generators can deliver electricity for the computers and other systems that this miniature robot carries
The fullerene chains can use as artificial DNA. In this text. The term "artificial DNA" means the carbon chain that acts like natural DNA or RNA.
The artificial DNA can operate as a chemical computer program. The thing is that these kinds of things might not be the DNA as the natural form. The term "artificial DNA" can also mean the fullerene chains that act like real DNA or RNA molecules.
The artificial DNA can act as the ROM (Read Only Memory) program for microchips and that thing can use for base-programming for miniature machines. In that case, the base movements of the system are stored in the chemical computer program
Artificial DNA does not mean that the chemical computer program is like DNA. In the chemical computer program, researchers can replace normal molecules and base pairs of DNA can replace by using fullerene and the other elements. There are four bases in the normal DNA.
"Two nitrogen-containing bases (or nucleotides) that pair together to form the structure of DNA. The four bases in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C). Base pair may also refer to the actual number of base pairs, such as 8 base pairs, in a sequence of nucleotides"(2).
So those nucleotides can replace by using some metals. That is connected to the fullerene. Or if we think sharply the fullerene itself can form the structure that can use as a data transporter. The fullerene balls would connect to the nanostructure.
And they can form a similar nanostructure with DNA or RNA molecules. The fullerene balls form the ladder-looking structure like in natural DNA. And the length of the "stairs" would be the code that the molecule is giving. In the binary model, one fullerene ball could mean 0, and two fullerene balls might mean 1.
The artificial chemical computer programs can also operate as the qubit modes. In that case, one ball might mean zero. Two balls mean one, and three fullerene balls might mean 2, etc. That kind of chemical code can secure the microchips.
There is the possibility that nanotechnology (3) can use to create real DNA molecules. This thing means that in the future. We will see more complicated and more effective solutions of the combination of nano- and biotechnology. Things like cloned muscle cells and neurons are the things that give the capacity of the small-size robot to more complicated operations than ever before.
