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.
