Abstract
Biological molecular motors, motor proteins, work in fish melanocytes to change their colors. Inspired by these fish melanocytes, we have envisioned to realize an optical device powered by motor proteins. To this end, we developed a series of requisites to realize the device in a step-by-step manner. In addition, integrating the developed requisites, we made attempts to assemble the optical devices. However, the assembled devices did not work as we intended. We will discuss the reasons, and show possible ways to successfully realize the optical devices.
