A chiral molecular propeller designed for unidirectional rotations on a surface

A chiral molecular propeller designed for unidirectional rotations on a surface

Controlling the rotation direction of individual molecular machines requires precise design and manipulation. Here, the authors describe a surface-adsorbed molecular propeller that, upon excitation with a scanning tunneling microscope tip, can rotate clockwise or anticlockwise depending on its chira...
