Scientists Turn Single Molecule Clockwise or Counterclockwise on Demand

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) image of a rotating europium (Eu) complex on a gold sheet. The dark spot in disc indicates the single Eu atom.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory report they can precisely rotate a single molecule that small on demand. The key ingredient is a single atom of europium, a rare earth element. It rests at the center of a complex of different atoms and gives the molecule many potential applications.
