Researchers Test Single-Molecule Nanocars in Open Air

Rice University researchers and their collaborators at North Carolina State University have recently tested their nanocars in open air, i.e., in ambient conditions instead of vacuum. What they found was these hydrophobic single-molecule cars became unsafe upon exposure to open air by getting stuck to the “road,” thus creating large speed bumps. The first nanocars were developed by the Rice team.
