## Abstract Singleβmolecule techniques have propelled an impressive number of biophysical studies during the last decade. From relatively simple videoβmicroscopy techniques, to sophisticated manipulation and detection apparata, singleβmolecule techniques are capable of tracking the movements and th
## Abstract **Summary:** Future nanodevices such as levers, valves, pumps, and other functional parts will require molecular motors to generate mechanical work. Electrochemically switchable single polymer chains are possible candidates for such motors. The proof of principle that such a single macr
