Physicists have developed a new optical centrifuge that can precisely spin molecules inside a superfluid for the first time.

Ferrocene is a key molecule for developing molecular machines. However, it readily decomposes on the surface of flat noble metal substrates, marking a significant challenge. Now researchers have ...

Artificial molecular machines, nanoscale machines consisting of a few molecules, offer the potential to transform fields involving catalysts, molecular electronics, medicines, and quantum materials.

Imagine tiny machines, smaller than a virus, spinning inside cancer cells and rewiring their behavior from within. No surgery, no harsh chemicals, just precision at the molecular level. Two ...

Biology is full of molecular machines, such as motor proteins and ATP synthase, that operate self-sufficiently through cycles of oxidation and reduction. A team of human chemists at the University of ...

(Nanowerk News) Artificial molecular machines, nanoscale machines consisting of a few molecules, offer the potential to transform fields involving catalysts, molecular electronics, medicines, and ...

The complex of ammonium-linked ferrocene (Fc-amm) and crown ether is assembled on a Cu(111) surface, and its sliding motion is activated by hole injection into the ferrocene group using scanning ...
