Researchers have made a reversible rotor that sits on a ruthenium atomic cal bearing. Nature Nanotechnology – Controlled clockwise and anticlockwise rotational switching of a molecular motor The ...
A single-crystal Au(111) sample was cleaned by repeated cycles of neon ion sputtering and annealing to 700 K. The molecular motors were deposited on a cleaned Au(111) sample (held at ∼120 K) by ...
