The discovery and design of small organic molecules capable of gelling aqueous solvents
(hydrogelators) is a rapidly expanding area of research, in particular due to their possible …

Amphiphilic molecules, of which soap is a typical example, possess antagonistic hydrophilic
and hydrophobic moieties in the same molecule. Carbohydrate amphiphiles, commonly …

In the miniaturization of manufactured goods, the practical limits of what can be achieved
when engineering from the “top down” are being approached.(1-9) Despite the continuing …

Many types of amphiphilic molecules self-assemble in solution to form cylindrical tubules
and helical ribbons. Some examples include diacetylenic lipids, amide amphiphiles, bile …

The study of enantiodiscriminations in relation to various facets of enantiomorphism
(chirality/prochirality) and/or molecular symmetry is an exciting area of modern organic …

Hydrophilic silica nanoparticles (abridged as nano-SiO2) surface-capped with epoxide were
dispersed in the solution of epoxy resin (abridged as EP) in tetrahydrofuran under magnetic …

Chirality (originated from the Greek word “cheir”, meaning “hand”) is an expression of
nature, which is observed in its various forms. Traditionally, a lack of symmetry is considered …

Self‐assembly of glycolipids into open‐ended organic nanotubes (see Figure) is reported
here. Depending on the solvent system used and the degree of saturation of the glycolipid …

Self-assembly is a spontaneous association of molecules under equilibrium conditions into
stable, well-defined aggregates by secondary interactions (ie, non-covalent forces). In 1985 …

Chiral block copolymers (BCPs*) comprising chiral entities were designed to fabricate
helical architectures (ie, twisted morphologies) from self-assembly. A new helical phase (H*) …
