Sir Fraser Stoddart

Sir Fraser Stoddart is a renowned chemist known for his pioneering work in the field of materials chemistry, particularly in the development of molecular machines. He studies how molecules can be designed to change shape and position, allowing them to perform tasks similar to machines, but on a tiny scale. His research has important implications for nanotechnology, where such molecular systems could lead to advancements in drug delivery, energy storage, and smart materials. In recognition of his contributions, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016, along with others, for work in this innovative area of science.
