The nature of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) has continued to encourage
researchers to design and construct a variety of high-performance materials. Introducing …

Cucurbit [n] uril supramolecular chemistry has developed rapidly since 2001 when different
cucurbit [n] uril homologues (Q [n]) were successfully separated in pure form. The …

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 …

Macroscopic electric motors continue to have a large impact on almost every aspect of
modern society. Consequently, the effort towards develo** molecular motors,–that can be …

Mechanically interlocked polymers (MIPs), such as polyrotaxanes and polycatenanes, are
polymer architectures that incorporate a mechanical bond. In a polyrotaxane, the …

All biological pumps are autonomous catalysts; they maintain the out-of-equilibrium
conditions of the cell by harnessing the energy released from their catalytic decomposition of …

Over the past century, adsorption has been investigated extensively in equilibrium systems,
with a focus on the van der Waals interactions associated with physisorption and electronic …

Pumps and motors are essential components of the world as we know it. From the complex
proteins that sustain our cells, to the mechanical marvels that power industries, much we …

Flexible zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) with high capacity and long cycle stability are essential for
wearable electronic devices. Hydrogel electrolytes have been developed to provide ion …

The integration of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) into purely organic crystalline
materials is expected to produce materials with properties that are not accessible using …
