Furthermore, an evolutionary approach to nanomotor design may shed light on origins of motility, inform fundamental questions on the origins of life, and connect the nanomotors field to bottom-up synthetic biology as an adjacent field which recently started to recognize the power of evolutionary approaches. Integrating evolvability in future nanomotor designs will pose an exciting challenge. One could imagine genetically encoded locomotion, such that rounds of mutagenesis and selection of the best swimmer can be performed.
