In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Profs. Matthew A. Glaser, Meredith D. Betterton, Noel A. Clark, Joseph E. Maclennan and David M. Walba of the University of Colorado and their graduate research students will design and synthesize light-driven molecular motors. The work will be based upon specific small-molecule versions of Brownian ratchets. The specific systems to be employed will be photolabile molecules deposited on well-characterized, low-symmetry substrates. These systems are analogous to biological motor systems.The potential impact of working, light-driven molecular motors is significant. They might find use in nanoscale rotors, shuttles and switches, artificial muscle systems, chiral separation and detection systems, and ratchet-based force microscopies. The students working on this project will gain experience working on a potentially high-impact project in an intensely interdisciplinary environment.

在这个奖项，由化学部实验物理化学计划资助，教授。Matthew A.作者声明：Meredith D. Betterton，诺埃尔A.作者：Joseph E. Maclennan和大卫M.科罗拉多大学的Walba和他们的研究生将设计和合成光驱动的分子马达。 这项工作将基于特定的小分子版本的布朗棘轮。 将采用的具体系统将是沉积在表征良好的低对称性基底上的光不稳定分子。 这些系统类似于生物马达系统，光驱动的分子马达的潜在影响是巨大的。 它们可能会在纳米级转子、穿梭机和开关、人工肌肉系统、手性分离和检测系统以及基于棘轮的力显微镜中找到用途。 从事该项目的学生将获得在强烈的跨学科环境中从事潜在高影响力项目的经验。
