Grant Simpson and Leonhard Grill made a groundbreaking discovery last summer: a molecular machine that moves in a straight line towards a predetermined target. The popular science magazine Scientific American reported on the research in detail in its December issue.

"Nanoscale Bulldozer" is the title of author Elise Cutts' report on the literally groundbreaking discovery by the University of Graz chemists. The "car", which consists of just one molecule, can move directly towards a predetermined destination and even carry cargo. The discovery was published in the journal Nature at the beginning of September 2023. The popular science magazine Scientific American picked up on the research result at the end of the year and reported on the work of Grant Simpson, Leonhard Grill and their international colleagues in an article.
