Ideally Efficient Irreversible Molecular Gears
Typical man-made locomotive devices use reversible gears, as cranks, for transforming reciprocating motion into directed one. Such gears are holo-nomic and have the transduction efficiency of unity. On the other hand, a typical gear of molecular motors is a ratchet rectifier, which is irreversible. We discuss what properties of rectifier mostly influence the transduction efficiency and show tha...
متن کاملCurrent-induced rotation of helical molecular wires.
We show that electric current running through a nanojunction with a biased helical molecule can induce unidirectional rotation of the molecular component. In an electric field, conduction electrons injected into the molecule are accelerated along the helical path going through its body, thereby gaining directed angular momentum. Conservation laws require that an angular momentum of the same siz...
متن کاملThe gears keep turning: current progress in platelet function testing.
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) could represent an important approach in basic platelet research or in clinical diagnosis of platelet function disorders [8]. However, implementation of such methods (TEM and HPLC) in a routine laboratory for clinical hemostaseology or blood banks could be challenging. A novel platelet activation test in unprocessed blood (pac-tUB) based on flow cytometr...

متن کاملCurrent-induced light emission and light-induced current in molecular-tunneling junctions.
The interaction of metal-molecule-metal junctions with light is considered within a simple generic model. We show, for the first time, that light-induced current in unbiased junctions can take place when the bridging molecule is characterized by a strong charge-transfer transition. The same model shows current-induced light emission under potential bias that exceeds the molecular excitation ene...
