A photochemical rotor bias in dual molecular motors #chemsky
Nature Chemistry, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41557-026-02142-5Generating multiple active rotational frequencies within one molecule is challenging. Now, distinct and tunable rotor activation in a single molecule has been demonstrated by integrating non-identical rotors with divergent photochemical responses. This enables dual-frequency motion, suggesting steering-like behaviour in molecular motors.
