        I mostly use some very special molecules that we make in our lab. They’re called wheels because they have a big ring of metal atoms in them that looks like a wheel. They do some really interesting electronic and magnetic stuff that means we can try some really cool science.

        I also work with lots of different molecules to try and make my wheels do different stuff. The list of molecules I have used would be really, really, really long.
