MEMO Project

Nanocar Race II
@C'Nano Conference

The C’NANO Conference 2021 will take place in Toulouse on November 23-25, 2021 with a MEMO satellite workshop entitled "Single molecule mechanics on a surface: gears, motors and cars". On 23 November 2021 all the Nanocar Race II teams officially registered will present their first molecule-car prototype to the public.
