A pair of chemists at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, has observed communication between rotors in a molecular motor. In their study, reported in the Journal of the American Chemical ...

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 solution to a ...

A University of Liverpool researcher has contributed to new research that demonstrates a completely novel type of molecular motor. In a paper, "Adsorbate motors for uni-directional translation and ...

Molecular motors come in all shapes and sizes, but they generally run on either chemical fuels or light. Now, a team led by J. Fraser Stoddart at Northwestern University has invented a molecular motor ...

(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 ...

Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion. A molecular motor has been designed in which electricity drives redox reaction cycles that lead to the movement of two small rings ...

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 ...

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 ...
