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 ...

Plants are among the most effective energy convertors on Earth. They capture solar energy and convert it to carbon-based compounds that are used for energy and also to build up essential plant ...

Fraser Stoddart, an organic chemist who shared a Nobel Prize for helping explore the potential of infinitesimal “molecular machines” that could one day revolutionize fields such as medicine and ...

Molecular rotors are dynamic chemical systems that exhibit controlled internal rotation, forming the basis for a myriad of applications in nanoscale devices and molecular machinery. Their ...

A recent study carried out my a group from MIT has introduced MDGen, a generative modeling approach for molecular dynamics ...

(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 ...
