The Ohio Bobcat Nano-wagon team reached a milestone in June 2016 when the group of Dr. Eric Masson, Associate Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry, completed the synthesis of the nanocar that will compete in the first-ever race of molecular cars in Toulouse, France, end of April 2017. Graduate students Mersad […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern When a panorama camera is used to capture a landscape, the object must remain perfectly still. If the object moves during recording, a blurred, distorted image will result. This phenomenon, known as the “blurring effect,” can have a similar, problematic impact in advanced molecular […]

Dr. Saw-Wai Hla, Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University and Dr. Eric Masson, Associate Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry, are excited that the Nobel Prize awarded in Chemistry is for the development of molecular machines, a topic they research. This year’s Chemistry Laureates—Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir Fraser Stoddart and Bernard Feringa—received the […]

by Kristin M. Distel “Divide a meter one billion times, and that’s one nanometer. Our nanocar is four nanometers in length,” explained doctoral students Mersad Raeisi and Kondalarao Kotturi. They are part of an Ohio University team that is working on a “nanocar” that will represent Ohio University at the […]
