Formula Nano   p597
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.148
Last April, six teams raced molecules on a metallic surface using a scanning tunnelling microscope in the first NanoCar Race. The event brought scientific research in nanotechnology to the attention of the wider public.

How to build and race a fast nanocar   pp604 - 606
Grant J. Simpson, Víctor García-López, Leonhard Grill and James M. Tour
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.137
The first NanoCar Race was an opportunity to see how far we have come in manipulating single molecules. As the team with the fastest molecule in this race, we share the synthetic challenges to building a fast nanocar and the experimental approach needed for rapid translation across a surface.

The sounds of nanotechnology   pp606 - 610
Norah Campbell, Cormac Deane and Padraig Murphy
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.142
Public perceptions of nanotechnology are shaped by sound in surprising ways. Our analysis of the audiovisual techniques employed by nanotechnology stakeholders shows that well-chosen sounds can help to win public trust, create value and convey the weird reality of objects on the nanoscale.

Why do we see history so differently?   pp611 - 612
Chris Toumey
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.138
Chris Toumey illustrates how different groups of people involved with nanotechnology have different views on the history of the field and feel differently about its importance.

Building membrane nanopores   pp619 - 630
Stefan Howorka
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.99
This Review examines the different building materials for membrane nanopores—proteins, peptides, synthetic organic molecules, and DNA—and explores the influence of the building material on pore structure, dynamics, function, and application.
