Inspired by nature, scientists have developed artificial switches and molecular machines made from synthetic building blocks. This was recognized by the award of the 2016 Chemistry Nobel Prize. Read more about the scientific background of synthetic molecular machines. What aspects of the development of molecular machines have caught your attention and, in your opinion, what are potential applications?
This has significant applications in medicine, spawning nanobots and other for cellular repair and targeted drug treatments, or even tumor surgery at the nanoscale
Yes, maybe this will help us create nanobots that would have predictable, programmable behavior instead of just random behavior. This could be really useful in medicine or even material science where the nanobots could identify mini-fractures in materials (say, in an aircraft wing) and fix them.
Molecular motors are innovative because they can be designed to carry specific drug molecules to specific cells (such as cancerous cells) within the human body.
