Peptide–metal–organic framework (Pep‐MOF) motors , whose motions are driven by anisotropic surface tension gradients created via peptide self‐assembly around frameworks, can rotate microscopic rotors and magnets fast enough to generate an electric power of 0.1 μW. A new rigid Pep‐MOF motor can be recycled by refilling the peptide fuel into the nanopores of the MOF.
