Abstract

The bottom-up design, construction, and operation of artificial mechanical devices and machines on the molecular scale is a topic of great interest in nanoscience and a fascinating challenge of nanotechnology. Biomolecular motors, executing crucial functions within living cells, demonstrate the utility and feasibility of systems of this kind. In recent years, the progress in several areas of chemistry, together with an improved understanding of biomolecular machines, has led to the development of a large variety of wholly synthetic molecular devices and machines that, in some cases, are able to perform specific tasks. These systems have the potential to bring about radical innovations in several areas of technology and medicine.
