Photoresponsive supramolecular polymers are well‐organized assemblies based on highly
oriented and reversible noncovalent interactions containing photosensitive molecules as (co …

Peptide-based supramolecular systems chemistry seeks to mimic the ability of life forms to
use conserved sets of building blocks and chemical reactions to achieve a bewildering array …

Interfacing molecular machines to inorganic nanoparticles can, in principle, lead to hybrid
nanomachines with extended functions. Here we demonstrate a ligand engineering …

Nonradiative decay invariably competes with radiative decay during the deexcitation
process of matter. In the community of luminescence research, nonradiative decay has been …

Molecular science entails the study of structures and properties of materials at the level of
single molecules or small interacting complexes of molecules. Moving beyond single …

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 ability to induce and amplify motion at the molecular scale has seen tremendous
progress ranging from simple molecular rotors to responsive materials. In the two decades …

Biology operates through autonomous chemically fuelled molecular machinery, including
rotary motors such as adenosine triphosphate synthase and the bacterial flagellar motor …

Precise control over molecular movement is of fundamental and practical importance in
physics, biology, and chemistry. At nanoscale, the peculiar functioning principles and the …

Directed motion at the nanoscale is a central attribute of life, and chemically driven motor
proteins are nature's choice to accomplish it. Motivated and inspired by such …
