• Will affect the effectiveness of the reaction events
• Will also affect the activity of molecular reactor.

ENERGY Thermodynamic domain


• On the molecular scale, the control of molecular orientation can be controlled by magnetic fields, strong
electric field and laser field.

SYNERGY Functional domain


• Combining multiple functions into one component.
• Can also combined 2 different forms of energy.

TIME Temporal domain


• Manipulation of time scale.
• Introduction of periodicity into a process.
