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 …

Molecular motors are at the heart of cellular machinery, and they are involved in converting
chemical and light energy inputs into efficient mechanical work. From a synthetic …

The molecular machinery of life is founded on chiral building blocks, but no experimental
technique is currently available to distinguish or monitor chiral systems in live cell bio …

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has, since its discovery, become a valuable tool in the
field of nanoscience. AIEgenic molecules, which display highly stable fluorescence in an …

The increasing occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the dwindling antibiotic
research and development pipeline have created a pressing global health crisis. Here, we …

The membrane proteins found in nature control many important cellular functions, including
signal transduction and transmembrane ion transport, and these, in turn, are regulated by …

Various artificial transmembrane transporters, designed to function through mobile carrier or
channel mechanisms, have been developed in the past decade. With the aid of structural …

Lipid bilayer membranes form compartments requisite for life. Interfacing supramolecular
systems, including receptors, catalysts, signal transducers and ion transporters, enables the …

We report the synthesis of chiral lanthanide complexes with extended π conjugation for
efficient circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) via two-photon excitation (2PE). The …

Ion transport across lipid membranes in biology is controlled by stimuli-responsive
membrane channels and molecular machine ion pumps such as ATPases. Here, we report a …
