Precise control over molecular movement is of fundamental and practical importance in
physics, biology, and chemistry. At nanoscale, the peculiar functioning principles and the …

Motor proteins are nature's solution for directing movement at the molecular level. The field
of artificial molecular motors takes inspiration from these tiny but powerful machines …

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 …

The adoption of a supramolecular approach in catalysis promises to address a number of
unmet challenges, ranging from activity (unlocking of novel reaction pathways) to selectivity …

The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

Complex chemical systems, such as living biological matter, are highly organized structures
based on discrete molecules in constant dynamic interactions. These natural materials can …

Stem cells are characterized by their ability to self-renew and differentiate into many different
cell types. Research has focused primarily on how these processes are regulated at a …

The integration of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) into purely organic crystalline
materials is expected to produce materials with properties that are not accessible using …

The use of dynamic, self-assembled DNA nanostructures in the context of nanorobotics
requires fast and reliable actuation mechanisms. We therefore created a 55-nanometer–by …

Low molecular weight synthetic peptides have been demonstrated to be effective catalysts
for an increasingly wide array of asymmetric transformations. In many cases, these peptide …
