The aim of this flagship program is to deliver both the molecular components as well as the fundamental insight into the molecular properties essential for the development of the nanotechnology-toolbox.

This includes probing of single molecule phenomena and the design, study and control of functions at the molecular level, when the molecules are assembled at interfaces, in arrays or in multifunctional (supra-) molecular components. The expertise in the consortium provides the opportunity to investigate synthetic-, semi-synthetic and biological single molecule systems. The flagship program is based on three core activities which will combine the strength of the participating groups and will address some of the most challenging issues in nanotechnology:

• Single molecule at interfaces
• Molecular Motors

The emphasis throughout this program is on function, from single molecule to material and device.
