2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing molecular machines

One Step closer to the nano technologies.

2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded to:

• Jean-Pierre Sauvage (University of Strasbourg, France)
• Sir J.Fraser Stoddart (Northwestern University Evanston,IL, USA)
• Bernard L. Feringa(University of Groningen,the Netherlads)

For creating Molecular Machines : the scientists have constructed numerous microscopic machines,including a lift, an artificial muscle and a molecular motor.

this small structures only a few nanometres in length :

less than 1000 of the thickness of a hair.

The first step towards building a molecular machine was taken by Jean-Pierre Sauvage in 1983, when he linked two ring-shaped molecules together to form a chain.

We can think of tiny robots that a doctor will inject in the blood veins which will then go to search for a cancer cell ,this what Pro Bernard L.Feringa announced

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy and comes with approximately $922,000 to be split among the three winners
