  Paris, France (SPX) Mar 21, 2017 Rewarded with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016, nanomachines provide mechanical work on the smallest of scales. Yet at such small dimensions, molecular motors can complete this work in only one direction. Researchers from the CNRS's Institut Charles Sadron, led by Nicolas Giuseppone, a professor at the Universite de Strasbourg, working in collaboration with the Laboratoire de mathematiques d'Orsay (CNRS/Universite Paris-Sud), have succeeded in developing more complex molecular machines that can ... read more |
