Jean-Pierre Sauvage of University of Strasbourg, Sir J.Fraser Stoddart of Northwestern University and Bernard L.Feringa of University of Groningen, The Netherlands share the 2016 Noble Prize for Chemistry.
The citation reads, "for the design and synthesis of molecular machines"
They developed machines of molecular dimensions that can perform.
Jean-Pierre Sauvage 1983 linked two ring shaped molecules with the help of a copper ion to form a chain called Catnane. This was a mechanical bond unlike a molecular bond.
Sir J.Fraser Stoddart was able to develop a rotaxane in 1991. He created an axle and a ring that can rotate around the axle. He demonstrated a molecular lift, a molecular muscle and a computer chip using molecules.
Bernard L.Feringa was the first to develop and demonstrate a fully functional molecular-motor in 1999. He also designed a nanocar.
