Comment

Disclaimer: Evaluation for writing course. The content of this article is organized and understandable but is not completely comprehensive. The article gives more of a general overview of the topic. The quality of the evidence is good. The Nobel prize in chemistry is just tacked on at the end of the introduction but not given much detail. Integrating this into the article would be good. References overall are good and most statements are referenced. Article is not based on assumptions. The article has a specific introduction that is okay to comprehend but may not be good for general public reading. Introduction summarizes content of article well. There are a few headings/subheadings but not very many. Images are a bit lacking and could use some work. A lot of detail is also missing in the research section (which is harder to keep up with). The experimental side of the research is not stated at all. The single image is in an appropriate place but not general enough to cover entire article. The coverage of this topic is neutral and the facts are emphasized. Sources are all reliable because they are primary literature of studies with molecular machines.Rztumbleson (talk) 20:29, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Life is but a Molecular machine. Every plant, every animal, and yes every human. All that you see. All that is said to be alive. Is made of the greatest Molecular machines known to man. So called nature is but a forest of machinery on the molecular level.

Merge proposal

The articles Molecular machine and Molecular machinery are on the same topic, and I think the two approaches would actually compliment each other well in a single article. Antony-22 (talk) 06:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I would agree with merging Molecular machinery into Molecular machine. M stone (talk) 15:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. Antony-22 (talk) 03:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Nobel project: Chemistry - explainer video

Within the Nobel project we work on a script for an explainer video about the molecular machines. The video can be then embedded into the article. You're welcome to review the script and give us feedback.

Circumlocution

Molecular machines research is currently at the forefront with the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry being awarded to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa for the design and synthesis of molecular machines.

At the forefront of what, precisely?

To my eye this tag-along with is a circumlocution. — MaxEnt 21:24, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

There should be more information about nanophysics
