About
Iong Ying Loh is a leading figure in the design of synthetic molecular machinery, specializing in the creation of track-walking molecular motors. Loh’s major contribution is pioneering a new generation of these nanoscale devices that move beyond traditional “bridge-burning” designs, which irreversibly consume their tracks. Instead, Loh’s work develops autonomous, processive motors capable of walking along a molecular track without destroying it, enabling repeated, directional motion. This breakthrough, detailed in their highly cited 2019 paper (39 citations), is fundamental for advancing nanoscale assembly lines, targeted chemical synthesis, and the development of molecular robots and adaptive materials. By solving a core limitation in bottom-up nanotechnology, Loh’s research provides a critical toolkit for achieving nanometer-resolved translational movement, positioning them as a key innovator in the field of molecular robotics and smart materials.
