Cells and bacteria use mechanotransduction processes to transform a mechanical force into
a chemical/biochemical response. The area of chemistry where chemical reactions are …

A paradigm shift from nanotechnology to nanoarchitectonics is necessary. Individual nano-
objects are required to be constructed into functional nanoarchitectures in order to develop …

We propose an important paradigm shift in the preparation of functional materials with well-
designed nanostructures, from the nanotechnological to the nanoarchitectonic approach …

Abstract Solvent-free, nonvolatile, room-temperature alkylated-π functional molecular liquids
(FMLs) are rapidly emerging as a new generation of fluid matter. However, precision design …

The air–water interface, which is the boundary of two phases with a large difference in
polarity, gives a distinct environment compared with bulk water or air. Since the interface …

The intramolecular rotation of 4-farnesyloxyphenyl-4, 4-difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-
indacene (BODIPY-ISO) was controlled by tuning its local physical environment within a …

Reversible dynamic control of structure is a significant challenge in molecular
nanotechnology. Previously, we have reported a mechanically induced continuous (analog) …

Molecular behavior and functionality are affected by their prevailing immediate environment.
Molecular machines function according to conformational variations and have been studied …

Intramolecular rotation of molecules contained in a two-dimensional monolayer or a three-
dimensional collapsed film at an air–water interface was investigated by in situ fluorescence …
