A new second-generation light-driven molecular motor was designed, in which the presence of a potential electronic push-pull system leads to a significant increase of the rate of rotation compared to previous motor systems, without disturbing its overall unidirectionality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
