What are Molecular Machines and How has Aono Contributed?
Molecular machines are nanoscale devices composed of individual molecules that can perform specific tasks. Aono's work in the self-assembly of nanostructures has been vital in understanding how molecular machines can be constructed and controlled. His research has shown that it is possible to create functional nanodevices that can perform a variety of tasks, ranging from targeted drug delivery to the manipulation of other nanostructures.
