along the axle. Among his advances based on rotaxanes are a molecular lift, a molecular muscle and a molecule-based computer chip. Bernard Feringa was the first person to develop a molecular motor; in 1999 he got a molecular rotor blade to spin repeatedly in the same direction. Using molecular motors, he has rotated a glass cylinder that is 10,000 times bigger than the motor and also designed a nanocar. 2016 ' s Nobel Laureates in Chemistry have taken molecular systems out of equilibrium ' s stalemate into energy-filled states in which their arrangements can be measured. In terms of development, the molecular motor is at the same stage as the electric motor was in the 1830s, when scientists exhibited various spinning cranks and wheels, unaware that they would lead to washing machines, fans and food processors. Molecular machines will most expected be used in the advancement of things such as new materials, sensors and energy storage systems.
