Chemistry Nobel winner: 'My research became an addiction'

The Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been awarded to three European scientists for developing tiny molecular motors. Jean-Pierre Sauvage of France, Bernard Feringa from the Netherlands and Sir Fraser Stoddart from the UK will share the prize for their work on what the academy called the world's smallest machines. Sir Fraser Stoddart describes what's kept him working on the same project for over 30 years.
