title: Acceleration of a nanomotor: electronic control of the rotary speed of a light-driven molecular rotor.
abstract: A new second-generation light-driven molecular motor was designed, in which the presence of a potential electronic push-pull system leads to a significant increase of the rate of rotation compared to previous motor systems, without disturbing its overall unidirectionality.
