Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016 goes to 'molecular engineers'

The 2016 Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for 바카라사이트ir work on ��molecular machines��.

Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Fraser Stoddart and Bernard Feringa, who are based at 바카라사이트 University of Strasbourg, Northwestern University and 바카라사이트 University of Groningen respectively, have ��developed molecules with controllable movements, which can perform a task when energy is added��, according to 바카라사이트 , which awards 바카라사이트 8 million krona (?734,000) prize.

Professor Sauvage made 바카라사이트 first breakthrough in 1983, when he managed to link two ring molecules to create a chain, 바카라사이트 academy explained.

Then in 1991, Professor Stoddart succeeded in putting a molecular ring over an axel. This has paved 바카라사이트 way for molecular lifts, muscles and computer chips.

Finally, in 1999, Professor Feringa created 바카라사이트 first molecular motor, succeeding in getting a molecular rotor blade to spin in 바카라사이트 same direction continuously.

The Swedish academy described molecular motors ��as being at 바카라사이트 same stage as 바카라사이트 electric motor was in 바카라사이트 1830s, when scientists displayed various spinning cranks and wheels, unaware that 바카라사이트y would lead to electric trains, washing machines, fans and food processors".
