Artificial molecular motors

Salma Kassem, Thomas van Leeuwen, Anouk S. Lubbe, Miriam R. Wilson, Ben L. Feringa and David A. Leigh

Artificial molecular motors take inspiration from motor proteins, nature's solution for achieving directional molecular level motion. An overview is given of the principal designs of artificial molecular motors and their modes of operation. We identify some key challenges remaining in the field.
