Single molecules on the move: The fourth international symposium on physics, chemistry and biology with single molecules in Staffelstein, Germany, witnessed many new insights and plans for the future developments of this research field. All kinds of experimental techniques such as scanning tunnelling, atomic force, or optical microscopy are involved. The immense progress in the field of nanotechnology opens up ways for the realization of “nanovisions” such as working nanomotors and molecular optoelectronic devices and circuits (for example, see picture).
