The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

Motor proteins are nature's solution for directing movement at the molecular level. The field
of artificial molecular motors takes inspiration from these tiny but powerful machines …

To impart directionality to the motions of a molecular mechanism, one must overcome the
random thermal forces that are ubiquitous on such small scales and in liquid solution at …

Directed motion at the nanoscale is a central attribute of life, and chemically driven motor
proteins are nature's choice to accomplish it. Motivated and inspired by such …

Precise control over molecular movement is of fundamental and practical importance in
physics, biology, and chemistry. At nanoscale, the peculiar functioning principles and the …

The widespread use of controlled molecular‐level motion in key natural processes suggests
that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of …

Supramolecular chemistry has developed over the last forty years as chemistry beyond the
molecule. Starting with the investigation of the basis of molecular recognition, it has explored …

Macroscopic electric motors continue to have a large impact on almost every aspect of
modern society. Consequently, the effort towards develo** molecular motors,–that can be …

Pumps and motors are essential components of the world as we know it. From the complex
proteins that sustain our cells, to the mechanical marvels that power industries, much we …

In this review we chart recent advances in what is at once an old and very new field of
endeavour—the achievement of control of motion at the molecular level including solid-state …
