Electric vehicles, powered by macroscopic electric motors, are increasingly prevalent on our streets and highways. Now a multidisciplinary team has made an electric motor you can't see with the naked ...

Scientists have long strived to develop artificial molecular motors that can convert energy into directed motion. Researchers have now presented a solution to a challenging problem: how motion can be ...

(Nanowerk News) Light-driven molecular motors were first developed nearly 25 years ago at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. This resulted in a shared Nobel Prize for Chemistry for ...

The tone mapping and coloring are designed to display as much of the detail of the fractal as possible. Image by Gut Monk Public Domain (CC0 1.0) The tone mapping and coloring are designed to display ...

Threads or ropes can easily be used for braiding, knotting, and weaving. In chemistry, however, processing molecular strands in this way is an almost impossible task. This is because molecules are not ...

Rotary molecular motors whose motion is controlled by light have been a topic of research for some time, with potential applications in synthetic mechanical systems and nanoactivation. Their ...

For most of us who haven’t entirely slept through biology classes, it’s probably no secret that ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the compound which provides the energy needed for us to move our muscles ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have long strived to develop artificial molecular motors that can convert energy into directed motion. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have now presented a ...

Researchers at Linköping University have developed a design principle for how to transfer the rotary motion to another part of a molecular system and have complete control over the direction of ...
