Molecular programming aims to systematically engineer molecular and chemical systems of
autonomous function and ever-increasing complexity. A key goal is to develop embedded …

Complex networks, comprised of individual elements that interact with each other through
reaction channels, are ubiquitous across many scientific and engineering disciplines …

Biological organisms use complex molecular networks to navigate their environment and
regulate their internal state. The development of synthetic systems with similar capabilities …

Logic gates are basic digital elements for computers. We build up thermal logic gates that
can perform similar operations as their electronic counterparts. The thermal logic gates are …

Molecular self-assembly gives rise to a great diversity of complex forms, from crystals and
DNA helices to microtubules and holoenzymes. We study a formal model of …

We build a rigorous nonequilibrium thermodynamic description for open chemical reaction
networks of elementary reactions. Their dynamics is described by deterministic rate …

The prospects of programming molecular systems to perform complex autonomous tasks
have motivated research into the design of synthetic biochemical circuits. Of particular …

Life is confronted with computation problems in a variety of domains including animal
behavior, single-cell behavior, and embryonic development. Yet we currently do not know of …

A highly desired part of the synthetic biology toolbox is an embedded chemical
microcontroller, capable of autonomously following a logic program specified by a set of …

Cells often perform computations in order to respond to environmental cues. A simple
example is the classic problem, first considered by Berg and Purcell, of determining the …
