An international research team, including an IIT-Madras faculty member, has demonstrated how electric current can drive the rotation of a single molecule with the motion, increasing electrical conduction by up to 100 times. The findings, published in 'Nature', could inform the development of future nanoscale electronic devices. The study demonstrates a feedback mechanism between molecular motion and electrical transport at the atomic scale. It has potential applications in molecular switches and components whose electrical properties can be controlled through movement. Dr. Anil Kumar Singh, assistant professor in the department of physics at IIT-M, is a corresponding author and the principal…
