Nanocar

thingiverse

Molecules like the thermally driven nanocar are engineered from C60 fullerene, measuring about 3x2 nm in size. This molecule was first synthesized in 2005 and serves as a prime example of molecular machines. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016 was awarded to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart, and Bernard L. Feringa for their pioneering work in designing and synthesizing molecular machines. Molecular machines like the thermally driven nanocar are gaining recognition for their potential applications in various fields. Researchers continue to explore new ways to engineer these molecules, opening up possibilities for future innovations.
