Abstract: | Revved-up rotary: A molecular Wankel motor, the dual-ring structure B(13) (+) , is driven by circularly-polarized infrared electromagnetic radiation. Calculations show that this illumination leads to a guided unidirectional rotation of the outer ring, which is achieved with rotational frequency of the order of 300?GHz. |
