2016 Chemistry Nobel Prize: How Molecular Machines Benefit Polymer Science (and vice versa)
Modern chemical designers are often inspired by Nature as well as by man-made objects – think of the classical analogy between molecular building blocks and LEGO bricks, the lock and key principle, etc. This year’s chemistry Nobel laureates have certainly been inspired by a bit of both.
