The cutting-edge advances in this research field are nicely
pictured in the chapters of this volume. They come from world's
leading laboratories engaged in the development of molecular
machines and are authored by some of the most respected scientists
in the field. This volume shows, on the one hand, the level of
ingenuity and technical capability reached in the construction of
artificial nanomachines roughly two decades after their inception.
On the other hand, it conveys the excitement about the enormous
opportunities as well as the challenges this research area
presents, as the interest of researchers is shifting from ensemble
to single-molecule measurements and from homogeneous to
heterogeneous environments. Indeed, as Feynman said "when we have
some control of the arrangement of things on a molecular scale, we
will get an enormously greater range of possible properties that
substances can have." Although the answer to the "when" question is
not easy to find, there is no doubt that artificial molecular
machines and motors will lead to a wide variety of applications
which we cannot even envisage today.The Nobel Prize in Chemistry
2016 was awarded jointly to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser
Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa "for the design and synthesis of
molecular machines". Both Jean-Pierre Sauvage and Bernard L.
Feringa contributed to this volume. The goal of each thematic
volume in this series is to give the non-specialist reader, whether
in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where
new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger
scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically
surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context
of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the
last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to
illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended
to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large
quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating
on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist
reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also
offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.
Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by the
volume editors. Readership: research chemists at universities or in
industry, graduate students.
