Abstract
Molecular motors generate force to individually power molecular machines or collectively drive macroscopic actuators. The force output of molecular and macroscale motors appears to be constrained by the same scaling law relating motor force and mass. Here, potential origins of these universal performance characteristics are discussed and the implications examined.
