Abstract

Molecular machines—(supra)molecular systems in which large-amplitude motions of some components can be controlled by appropriate stimuli can be operated by means of chemical, electrochemical, or photochemical processes. However, the use of light stimulation has several advantages. For example, photons can be used to supply energy to the system and to gather information about its state without physically touching it. Light excitation can be carried out by a variety of sources (including the sun), with the possibility of a fine resolution in space and time.
