This Review presents polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, nucleic acids, peptides, and
proteins as functional stimuli‐responsive polymer scaffolds that yield hydrogels with …

Hydrogels are crosslinked hydrophilic polymers that can absorb a large amount of water. By
their hydrophilic, biocompatible and highly tunable nature, hydrogels can be tailored for …

Efficient and accurate acquisition of cellular biomolecular information is crucial for exploring
cell fate, achieving early diagnosis, and the effective treatment of various diseases …

Inspired by the high photoconversion efficiency observed in natural light-harvesting systems,
the hierarchical organization of molecular building blocks has gained impetus in the past …

DNA encodes the genetic information; recently, it has also become a key player in material
science. Given the specific Watson–Crick base‐pairing interactions between only four types …

DNA-functionalized nanomaterials represent the cutting edge of the convergence between
nanoscience and life sciences. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), with their versatile …

Recent studies on all-vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) have focused on carbon-
based materials for cost-effective electrocatalysts to commercialize them in grid-scale …

Self-assembly offers unique possibilities for fabricating nanostructures, with different
morphologies and properties, typically from vapour or liquid phase precursors. Molecular …

Stimuli-sensitive hydrogels are ideal candidates for biomedical and bioengineering
purposes, although applications of hydrogels may be limited, due in part to the limited …

Smart nanomaterials are nano-scaled materials that respond in a controllable and reversible
way to external physical or chemical stimuli. DNA self-assembly is an effective way to …
