Dynamic covalent chemistry relates to chemical reactions carried out reversibly under
conditions of equilibrium control. The reversible nature of the reactions introduces the …

Research into the evaporation of solutions is not only aimed at a better understanding the
physics of evaporation, but increasingly at capitalizing on the extremely simple method it …

Self-assembly is a process in which components, either separate or linked, spontaneously
form ordered aggregates. Self-assembly can occur with components having sizes from the …

Hydrogels have been developed to respond to a wide variety of stimuli,,,,,, but their use in
macroscopic systems has been hindered by slow response times (diffusion being the rate …

Nature presents the collective behavior of living organisms aiming to accomplish complex
tasks, inspiring the development of cooperative micro/nanorobots. Herein, the spontaneous …

An ethylene‐glycol‐mediated self‐assembly process is adopted to synthesize 3D flowerlike
nanostructures of iron oxide (see figure) using inexpensive and nontoxic ferric chloride. A …

This work describes the design and development of a prototype of a soft, hydrogel-based
microrobot, intended to move through the body lumina, carry cells or drugs, and deliver them …

Multi-scale ordering of materials is central for the application of molecular systems,, in
macroscopic devices,. Self-assembly based on selective control of non-covalent …

A solid state, electronically addressable, bistable [2] catenane-based molecular switching
device was fabricated from a single monolayer of the [2] catenane, anchored with …

The controlled fabrication of nanometer-scale objects is without doubt one of the central
issues in current science and technology. However, existing fabrication techniques suffer …
