Directed motion at the nanoscale is a central attribute of life, and chemically driven motor
proteins are nature's choice to accomplish it. Motivated and inspired by such …

Controlling cooperativity, synchronization, amplification and translation of intermolecular
and intramolecular dynamics over different length scales for applications in stimuli …

Pumps and motors are essential components of the world as we know it. From the complex
proteins that sustain our cells, to the mechanical marvels that power industries, much we …

Cells process information in a manner reminiscent of a Turing machine, autonomously
reading data from molecular tapes and translating it into outputs,. Randomly processive …

Unlike natural macromolecules (eg, nucleic acids and proteins) possessing precisely
defined molar mass, chain sequence, chirality, and topology, synthetic polymers are typically …

Herein, by directly using Watson–Crick base pairing, a highly ordered and field-free three-
dimensional (3D) DNA nanostructure is self-assembled by azobenzene (azo)-functionalized …

Synthetic chemistry has traditionally relied on reactions between reactants of high chemical
potential and transformations that proceed energetically downhill to either a global or local …

The active template synthesis of mechanically interlocked molecular architectures exploits
the dual ability of various structural elements (metals or, in the case of metal-free active …

The widespread use of molecular-level motion in key natural processes suggests that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of synthetic …

Micro/nanomotors (MNMs) are miniaturized devices capable of performing self-propelled
motion and on-demand tasks, which have brought revolutionary renovations in …
