numerous advantages that include fast response, intuitiveness, stand-alone capability, non …

The fabrication of dual‐mode patterns in the same region of a material is a promising
approach for high‐density information storage, new anti‐counterfeiting technologies, and …

The circadian rhythm generates out-of-equilibrium metabolite oscillations that are controlled
by feedback loops under light/dark cycles. Here we describe a non-equilibrium nanosystem …

Here we present the development of self-regulated “breathing” polymersome nanoreactors
that show temporally programmable biocatalysis induced by a chemical fuel. pH-sensitive …

Natural systems have been an inspiration to synthetic supramolecular chemistry. Synthetic
demonstrations of dissipative biological systems such as actin filaments are a formidable …

The intricate and complex features of enzymatic reaction networks (ERNs) play a key role in
the emergence and sustenance of life. Constructing such networks in vitro enables stepwise …
