Fraser Stoddart's pioneering work in nanotechnology opened new avenues for creating molecular machines. By utilizing mechanical bonds, his research laid the foundation for future advancements in medicine and climate science.
In the 1980s, I learned how to get the molecules to move in predictable ways with the introduction of energy such as light or a chemical reaction. We were sitting at the entrance of a gold mine.
Stoddart synthesized a rotaxane, which inspired the development of molecular structures that could function like basic computer chips and respond flexibly to stimuli.
