Molecular Machines with Integrated Parts
The widespread use of molecular-level motion in key natural processes suggests that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of synthetic molecular machines—which by and large rely upon switching of individual components to carry out their functions—and the machines of the macroscopic world, which utilize the synchronized behaviour of integrated components to perform tasks more complex than the sum of the components. The aim of this project is to learn how to integrate the movements and chemistries of different molecular machine components. The proposed program is divided into three themes: Theme 1: Transport and synthesis by nanomechanical substrate…
