The fields of molecular machines are currently very active because of their long term potential. The expected advantages of these bottom-up approaches are now well-known: ultimate size, possibility to design finely-tuned molecular devices, and their low energy consumption.
This symposium will bring together researchers working on different strategies to synthetize and study single molecules displaying original mechanical and electronical properties at the nanometre or sub-nanometre scale. The objectives are to gather scientists from different communities (Physics, chemistry and theory), using different techniques and approaches involved in the most recent developments in all aspects of this field but also to foster young researchers (PhD and post-docs) towards this multidisciplinary approach.
