brit sir fraser stoddart is among the trio awarded the nobel prize in chemistry for creating the world's smallest machines - ess energy storage system

This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded work dating back to 1983, about the design of the world's smallest machine. British-
French Sir Jean-Fraser Stodart
Pierre bachchi and Dutch scientist Bernard Ben Feringa split the prize money into three ways by inventing and developing molecular machines.
According to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, molecular machines are most likely to be used in the development of new materials, sensors and energy storage systems.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a statement that they have developed molecules with controllable movements that can perform a task when the energy increases, granting 8 million Swedish crowns (
$931,000/£ 732,004)prize.
The title of the award-winning paper is "design and synthesis of molecular machines".
Molecular machines are tiny molecules with controllable motion that can perform tasks when energy is added.
These machines are thousands of times thinner than a strand of hair.
They are most likely to be used in the development of products such as new materials, sensors and energy storage systems.
Another application of these machines may be to deliver drugs in the human body, for example, to apply drugs directly to cancer cells.
Jean took the first step in building molecular machines.
On 1983, Pierre suvage connected the two rings together.
Chain the molecules. Jean-
Pierre Sovich was born on 1944 in Paris, France.
He is now an honorary professor at the University of Strasburg and honorary research director of the National Center for Scientific Research in France (CNRS).
The second step is that Fraser Stoddart developed a molecule called rotaxane in 1991.
Sir Fraser Stodart was born in Edinburgh in 1942 and is currently affiliated to Northwestern University, Illinois.
Born on 1951 in bagferinga-
Compascuum in the Netherlands.
He is a professor of organic chemistry at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
In 1999, Professor Feringa was the first person to develop a molecular motor.
"The molecular motors were in the same stage as the motors of the 1830 s when scientists showed a variety of rotating cranks and wheels that they did not know would cause electric trains, washing machines, in announcing the winners, the jury said: "fans and food processors. "
Speaking of his major, Fraser Stodart said: "It's not just a family of science, it's almost a family of biology;
We are very close.
Between them, the three created a series of small machines in their careers. When Jean-
Pierre suwaji first link two rings
It is a breakthrough to aggregate molecules together to form a chain.
Normally, molecules are connected together by strong bonded bonds in which atoms share electrons, but in chains they are connected by more free mechanical bonds.
In order for the machine to perform a task, it must consist of components that can be moved relatively --
The two interlocking rings are meeting this requirement.
In 1991, Fraser Stoddart connects a molecular ring thread to a thin molecular axis and shows that the ring is able to move along the axis.
He developed a variety of machines based on this molecule, called rotaxane, including molecular ascension, molecular muscles and molecules-
Computer chip based
In 1999, Bernard Feringa developed a molecular rotor blade that can rotate continuously in the same direction.
Using a molecular motor, he rotated a glass cylinder 10,000 times larger than the motor and designed a Nano cube.
Given how small it is, the only real way nanocar has any visual similarities with the car is that it has four wheels and a bare-
Internal frame of bone.
The car is powered by pulses that respond to millivolt energy. For every half-
The wheel turns and the car needs another vibration of energy.
Because of its high energy requirements and small size, it is not surprising that the first trip is only 6 nanometers.
Although the actual scale of the project may be smaller than the eyes of ordinary people, it is a huge breakthrough for scientists in the field of nanotechnology.
2016 Nobel Prize winners in chemistry have separated the molecular system from the deadlock of balance and turned it into energy.
The filling state of their motion can be controlled.
The daughter of Stodart, Alison Stodart, also a chemist, said she was called by her father, who was "very ecstatic and very happy ".
"He was a little shocked, apparently early in the morning (in Chicago).
Alison Stodart said he was very happy with the people who won the prize with him. She noted Jean-
Pierre Savage is a close family friend, especially a colleague.
Alison Stodart, a chemist, said she was pleased to see the work recognized.
It's really cute and basic chemistry.
This is the synthesis of these machines. . .
What it can do in the next few years is very exciting.
She described the winner as an impassioned chemist.
They just made very interesting molecules, she said, and they like to do that, and it's really good that they won together.
Since 1901, 171 people have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
But only four of these people are women: Mrs. Curie, Elaine Julio
Madame Curie, Dorothy Claude Hodgkins and Ada Jonas.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is the third Nobel prize announced this week.
The first is the medical or physiology award, which was awarded on Monday to Japanese biologist Ohashi because of his work in exploring autophagy --
The process of cell recycling itself. Autophagy -
Greek means "self"eating' -
It is the process by which cells effectively eat their contents and break them down into blocks for use elsewhere.
Yesterday, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three Britons for their research on the secrets of "exotic.
The award is to honor works that open the door to the mysterious world in which material can present an unusual state unknown in nature.
The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced in Oslo on Friday.
