size=2>The macroscopic concepts of a device and a machine can be extended to the
molecular level. Molecular-level devices and machines operate via electronic
and/or nuclear rearrangements and, like macroscopic devices and machines, they
need energy to operate and signals to communicate with the operator. The
extension of the concepts of a device and a machine to the molecular level is of
interest not only for basic research, but also for the growth of nanoscience and
the development of nanotechnology. Currently there is an increasing interest in
the use of light to power molecular devices and machines. The lecture will
illustrate examples of recent achievements [1,2,3], which include molecular
wires, switches, plug-socket systems, extension cables, antennas, logic gates,
memories and light powered nanomotors.</FONT><BR></o:p></SPAN></P><SPAN
