Abstract: Molecular machines are common in nature, but creating nanoscale devices from scratch is not as easy it looks. Two ways of making a molecular motor capable of unidirectional motion have now been demonstrated. In one system movement is driven by chemical forces, whereas in the other device rotation is powered by ultraviolet light.
