Hi reddit!

The NanoCar Race is an event organized by the CNRS, the French National Center for Scientific Research, in which molecular machines compete on a nano-sized racetrack. These "NanoCars" or molecule-cars can have real wheels, an actual chassis... and are propelled by the energy of electric pulses! Nothing is visible to the naked eye, however a unique microscope located at the CNRS's Centre d'élaboration de matériaux et d'études structurales (CEMES) in Toulouse (south-western France) will make it possible to follow the race.

The six teams are:

-The Green Buggy from Université Paul Sabatier (Toulouse, France): http://ift.tt/2nmTTal

-The Swiss Nano Dragster from University of Basel (Switzerland): http://ift.tt/2nXsePW -Dipolar Racer from Rice University (Houston, USA) / Graz Universität (Graz, Austria): http://ift.tt/2ns7oFA

-Windmil from Technische Universität Dresden (Dresden, Germany): http://ift.tt/2nmRtZo

-NIMS-MANA car from National Institute for Materials Science (Tsukuba, Japan): http://ift.tt/2mNz1vV

-Ohio Bobcat from Ohio University (Athens, USA): http://ift.tt/2oyIQid

A genuine scientific prowess and an international human adventure, the race is a one-off event, and will be broadcast live on http://ift.tt/2pFRT0G and the NanoCar Race YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKiyj1TpSeU

We'll be back at 11 am EST to answer your questions! AUA!
