Molecular propeller

A molecular propeller is a type of molecular machine designed at the nanoscale that mimics the motion and function of a helicopter propeller. These highly engineered molecules are capable of undergoing specific conformational changes or rotations in response to certain stimuli, such as light, heat, or chemical reactions. The key components of a molecular propeller typically include: 1. **Rotor and Stator**: The rotor is the part that rotates, while the stator remains fixed.
