Studying autocatalysis—in which molecules catalyse their own formation—might help to
explain the emergence of chemical systems that exhibit traits normally associated with …

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 …

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 …

Among the key characteristics of living systems are their ability to self‐replicate and the fact
that they exist in an open system away from equilibrium. Herein, we show how the outcome …

A major challenge in modern society is the reduction of microplastics created by polymers
having stable C–C backbones. The chemistry of radical ring-opening copolymerization of …

The selective activation of nanovectors in pathological tissues is of crucial importance to
achieve optimized therapeutic outcomes. However, conventional stimuli-responsive …

As a leading contender to replace lead halide perovskites, tin‐based perovskites have
demonstrated ever increasing performance in solar cells and light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) …

Living organisms are replete with rhythmic and oscillatory behavior at all levels, to the extent
that oscillations have been termed as a defining attribute of life. Recent studies of synthetic …

Regulating hydrogel actuators with chemical reaction networks is instrumental for
constructing life‐inspired smart materials. Herein, hydrogel actuators are engineered that …

Oscillatory systems regulate many biological processes, including key cellular functions
such as metabolism and cell division, as well as larger-scale processes such as circadian …
