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.
分子汪克尔发动机，双环结构 B(13)(+)，由圆偏振红外电磁辐射驱动。计算表明，这种照明导致外环的受控单向旋转，其旋转频率约为 300GHz。
