This volume 1st 137 illus. in color. shows, on the one hand, the level of ingenuity and technical capability reached in the edition construction of artificial nanomachines roughly two decades after their inception. On the other hand, it conveys the excitement about the enormous opportunities as well as the challenges this research area presents, as the interest of researchers is shifting from ensemble to single- Printed book molecule measurements and from homogeneous to heterogeneous environments. Indeed, as Hardcover Feynman said “when we have some control of the arrangement of things on a molecular scale, we will get an enormously greater range of possible properties that substances can have.” Printed book Although the answer to the “when” question is not easy to find, there is no doubt that artificial Hardcover molecular machines and motors will lead to a wide variety of applications which we cannot ISBN 978-3-319-08677-4 even envisage today. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016 was awarded jointly to Jean-Pierre $ 349,99 Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa"for the design and synthesis of Available molecular machines". Both Jean-Pierre Sauvage and Bernard L. Feringa contributed to this Discount group volume.The goal of each thematic volume in this series is to give the non-specialist reader, Professional Books (2) whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is Product category emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume Reviews critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole.
