Molecular Machines: The Subtle Engines That Power Every Living Cell
Molecular machines are nanometer-sized biochemical structures that perform specific mechanical work — from transporting materials within cells to synthesizing proteins. They occur naturally in all living organisms and have been artificially designed since 1994. In 2016, three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their revolutionary achievements in designing synthetic molecular machines. Their importance goes beyond basic science: they are the foundation of future medical technology, including targeted drug delivery and molecular computers.
