Chemical reaction networks that transform out-of-equilibrium 'fuel'to 'waste'are the engines
that power the biomolecular machinery of the cell. Inspired by such systems, autonomous …

Life is a non‐equilibrium state of matter maintained at the expense of energy. Nature uses
predominantly chemical energy stored in thermodynamically activated, but kinetically stable …

Biology operates through autonomous chemically fuelled molecular machinery, including
rotary motors such as adenosine triphosphate synthase and the bacterial flagellar motor …

Directed motion at the nanoscale is a central attribute of life, and chemically driven motor
proteins are nature's choice to accomplish it. Motivated and inspired by such …

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 …

Nature extensively exploits high-energy transient self-assembly structures that are able to
perform work through a dissipative process. Often, self-assembly relies on the use of …

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 …

Biological systems exhibit a range of complex functions at the micro-and nanoscales under
non-equilibrium conditions (for example, transportation and motility, temporal control …

Chemically fueled autonomous molecular machines are catalysis-driven systems governed
by Brownian information ratchet mechanisms. One fundamental principle behind their …

Molecular machines are among the most complex of all functional molecules and lie at the
heart of nearly every biological process. A number of synthetic small-molecule machines …
