In the 25 years since its Nobel Prize in chemistry, supramolecular chemistry based on
molecular recognition has been paid much attention in scientific and technological fields …

There are several requirements for the safe and effective delivery of therapeutic agents for
human use. Direct injection of drugs may cause side effects due to their permeation to other …

Nanomaterials have been prepared over a wide range of length scales from nanoscopic
objects to bulk structural materials. Recent investigations have been focused on the …

Inorganic structures and their assemblies play important roles in artificial materials for
biological applications. In this short review, we briefly summarize recent research on …

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have been extensively investigated owing to
their unique properties induced by the quantum confinement effect. The advent of colloidal …

Artificial enzyme mimetics have attracted immense interest recently because natural
enzymes undergo easy denaturation under environmental conditions restricting practical …

Of the known intelligently-operating systems, the majority can undoubtedly be classed as
being of biological origin. One of the notable differences between biological and artificial …

Here we demonstrate shape-controlled cobalt phosphide nanostructures through a one-pot
synthetic approach in a single step with precise control over the size, shape and …

Important points for the fabrication of functional materials are the creation of
nanoscale/molecular‐scale units and architecting them into functional materials and …

The potential usefulness and importance of nanomaterials are now well recognized.
However, currently available synthetic nanomaterials are generally used in their bulk form …
