We caught a chemically-driven molecular shuttle in the act! 🤫 Read @angewandtechemie.bsky.social how we use optical-tweezers with @3mlab.bsky.social to track how a two-station shuttle becomes a single-station rotaxane upon Diels-Alder reaction! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A una molecula le "cuesta" lo mismo subir que bajar la barrera energética entre dos estados metaestables. @emiliomperezlab.bsky.social @3mlab.bsky.social lo observan por primera vez en nanomaquinas moleculares 👉 phys.org/news/2025-02...

Optical tweezers reveal forward and backward motion is symmetric in molecular shuttling
In molecular shuttles, a ring molecule is threaded onto a linear molecular strand and can move between two portions of the strand, called stations, in response to external stimuli. Chemical stimuli, l...
