Abstract

In this issue of Chem , Li et al. describe the use of atomic force spectroscopy for detecting, stalling, and characterizing single-molecule rotors. Their work extends force spectroscopy beyond linear deformations, offering a powerful, accessible alternative to tunneling microscopy for probing molecular rotation and associated energy landscapes.
