Over the last two decades ratchet mechanisms have transformed the understanding and
design of stochastic molecular systems—biological, chemical and physical—in a move away …

Reflecting on recent progress in bottom-up engineering focused on creating the smallest
devices capable of controlling nanoscale motion, artificial molecular pumps (AMPs) are …

Coupling a photochemical reaction to a thermal exchange process can drive the latter to a
nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) under photoirradiation. Typically, systems use separate …

Stereochemical editing strategies have recently enabled the transformation of readily
accessible substrates into rare and valuable products. Typically, site selectivity is achieved …

Electrolysis integrates renewable energy into chemical manufacturing and is key to
sustainable chemistry. Controlling the waveform beyond direct current (DC) addresses the …

Catalytic reaction networks of multiple elementary steps operating under dynamic conditions
via a programmed input oscillation are difficult to interpret and optimize due to reaction …

The development of synthetic active matter requires the ability to design materials capable of
harnessing energy from a source to carry out work. Nature achieves this using chemical …

Hydrogen gas is a promising renewable energy storage medium when produced via water
electrolysis, but this process is limited by the sluggish kinetics of the anodic oxygen …

Chemical transformations on catalyst surfaces occur through series and parallel reaction
pathways. These complex networks and their behavior can be most simply evaluated …

Spontaneous chemical reactions proceed energetically downhill to either a local or global
minimum, limiting possible transformations to those that are exergonic. Endergonic reactions …
