Abstract:In biology, membranes are the key structures to separate and spatially organize cellular reaction systems. Their rich dynamics and transformations during the cell cycle are orchestrated by specific membrane‐targeted molecular machineries many of which operate through energy dissipation. Likewise, man‐made molecular rotary motors powered by light have previously shown drastic effects on cellular systems, but their physical roles on and within lipid membranes remain largely unexplored. Here we systematically inv… Show more
