Conspectus The hydrogen ion is arguably the most ubiquitous and important species in
chemistry. It also plays a key role in nearly every biological process. In this Account, we …

Hydrogen ion autocatalytic reactions, especially in combination with an appropriate negative
feedback process, show a wide range of dynamical phenomena, like clock behavior …

In biological or abiotic systems, rhythms occur, owing to the coupling between positive and
negative feedback loops in a reaction network. Using the Semenov–Whitesides oscillatory …

We develop a computational model to capture the complex, three-dimensional behavior of
chemoresponsive polymer gels undergoing the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. The model …

Polymer gels undergoing the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction are unique materials
because the polymer network can undergo autonomous oscillations in the absence of …

Species ranging from single-cell organisms to social insects can undergo auto-chemotaxis,
where the entities move towards a chemo-attractant that they themselves emit. Polymer gels …

We review advances in a new area of interdisciplinary research that concerns phenomena
arising from inherent coupling between non-linear chemical dynamics and mechanics. This …

Autocatalytic pH clocks can be useful to control self-assembly in the time domain. Their
applications are, however, limited by the currently available toolbox. We describe here an …

A novel method is presented for the design of robust, sustained nanochemomechanical
oscillators. The approach is based on the switching of chemoresponsive nanogel beads …

Gold nanoparticles protected by carboxylated alkane thiols were coupled with a BrO3–-
SO32–/HSO3–pH oscillator which had large-amplitude and long-period oscillations …
