Solid materials are generally known to be rigid and unmoving, but scientists are turning this idea on its head by exploring ways to incorporate moving parts into solids. This can enable the development of exotic new materials such as amphidynamic crystals—crystals which contain both rigid and mobile components—whose properties can be altered by controlling molecular rotation within the material.
A major challenge to achieving motion in crystals—and in solids in general—is the tightly packed nature of their structure.
This restricts dynamic motion toHowever, a team led by Associate Professor Mingoo Jin from the Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery , Hokkaido University has set a size record for such dynamic motion, demonstrating the largest molecularAngewandte Chemie International EditionA molecular rotor consists of a central rotating molecule that is connected by axis molecules to stationary stator molecules, similar to the way that a wheel and axle are connected to a car frame.

Exploring exotic spin interactions at microscale using solid-state spin quantum sensorsA team of researchers led by Academician DU Jiangfeng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has made a significant breakthrough in exploring exotic spin interactions. They successfully utilized solid-state spin quantum sensors based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to investigate these interactions at the microscale.
