A molecular machine, or nanomachine, is any set of molecules which produce mechanical movements (output) in response to specific stimuli (input).
The term is common in nanotechnology where a number of complex molecular machines have been proposed which might be a way of making a "molecular assembler".
Molecular machines can be divided into two broad categories: synthetic and biological.
Biological nanomachines
The most complex molecular machines are made of proteins, and found in cells.
These include 'motor proteins'.
Examples are: myosin, (which does muscle contraction), kinesin (which moves molecules from the nucleus along microtubules), and dynein (which produces the beating of motile cilia and flagella).
These proteins are far more complex than any molecular machines that have yet been made by mankind.
Probably the most significant biological machine known is the ribosome.
Other important examples include motile cilia: "In effect, the [motile cilium] is a nanomachine [of] over 600 proteins in molecular complexes, many of which also function independently as nanomachines".

Wakinosaurus (meaning "Wakino lizard") is a dubious genus of theropod dinosaur.
It is named from the find of a single tooth.‭ ‬The genus is dubious (doubtful) because it is almost impossible to assign further fossil material to it.
The find was made in Lower Cretaceous deposits in Fukuoka, Japan in 1990 by Masahiro Sato.
The triangular-shaped tooth has fine serrations on its cutting edge, which is standard for a theropod dinosaur.
The sixpence (6d; ), sometimes known as a tanner or half-shilling was a British coin.

A nomen dubium is Latin for "doubtful name" (plural nomina dubia).
It is a scientific name in zoology which  is of unknown or doubtful use.
With a nomen dubium it may be impossible to decide whether a specimen belongs to that group or not.
This may happen if the original type specimen is lost or destroyed.
The zoological and botanical codes allow for a new type specimen, or neotype, to be chosen in this case.
A name may also be considered a nomen dubium if its name-bearing type is fragmentary or lacking important diagnostic features.
This is often the case for species known only as fossils.
To preserve stability of names, the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature allows a new type specimen, or neotype, to be chosen for a nomen dubium in this case.
