Supramolecular gels are formed by the self-assembly of small molecules under the
influence of various non-covalent interactions. As the interactions are individually weak and …

Polymer materials have sparked considerable interest from both academic and industrial
researchers due to their fantastic features and wide applications. The polymer synthetic …

Soft matter systems and materials are moving toward adaptive and interactive behavior,
which holds outstanding promise to make the next generation of intelligent soft materials …

Although dynamic self-assembly, DySA, is a relatively new area of research, the past
decade has brought numerous demonstrations of how various types of components–on …

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a central metabolite that plays an indispensable role in
various cellular processes, from energy supply to cell‐to‐cell signaling. Nature has …

Here we present the development of self-regulated “breathing” polymersome nanoreactors
that show temporally programmable biocatalysis induced by a chemical fuel. pH-sensitive …

Inspired by the dynamics of the dissipative self-assembly of microtubules, chemically fueled
synthetic systems with transient lifetimes are emerging for nonequilibrium materials design …

The circadian rhythm generates out-of-equilibrium metabolite oscillations that are controlled
by feedback loops under light/dark cycles. Here we describe a non-equilibrium nanosystem …

The importance of autocatalysis spans from practical applications such as in chemically
amplified photoresists, to autocatalysis playing a fundamental role in evolution as well as a …

Enzymes regulate complex functions and active behavior in natural systems and have
shown increasing prospect for developing self-regulating soft matter systems. Striving for …
