Chemistry: Tips for moving single molecules
Dennis C. Jacobs
Abstract
Scanning tunnelling microscopes provide a unique perspective on chemistry at the level of single molecules. Now there is a new way of using the tip of such a microscope to manipulate a single molecule.
In nature, reactants can be transformed into products through a vast array of mechanisms. In synthetic chemistry, progress hinges on finding a way to maximize the yield of the desired target molecule while minimizing the generation of unwanted by-products.
