9,10-Dithioanthracene (DTA) is an organic molecule and a derivative of anthracene with two thiol groups. In 2004, DTA molecules were demonstrated to be able to "walk" in a straight line on a metal surface by, in effect, mimicking the bipedal motion of a human being. The sulfur-bearing functional groups on either side serve as the molecule's "feet". When the compound is heated on a flat copper surface, the linkers raise up, alternating from side to side, and propel the molecule forward. During te
