Chemistry

This web class is about the research for which Ben Feringa won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. We will discuss the research of Nobel prize winners Stoddart, Sauvage and Feringa. You will learn how a molecular motor works and what their applications are.

Web class

During this web class you will deal with different ways to make motors and little machines on the scale of single molecules. We will also look at molecular machines in nature and at the generation and control of molecular machines as well as the different ways in which chemistry approaches these machines. Finally, we will have a chance to hear the current Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Prof. Ben L. Feringa talk about what it is that excites him about molecular motors, why he thinks they are important and what he thinks the future might bring.
