    Controlled clockwise and anticlockwise rotational switching of a molecular motor

    The design of artificial molecular machines1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 often takes inspiration from macroscopic machines13,14,15,16,17,18,19. However, the parallels between the two systems are...

    Step-by-step rotation of a molecule-gear mounted on an atomic-scale axis

    Designing and building molecular machines at the nanometre scale is a conceptual and synthetic challenge. Rotation of a single molecule has been observed but controlling the direction of the rotation has so fa...
