The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

DNA has become one of the most extensively used molecular building blocks for
engineering self-assembling materials. DNA origami is a technique that uses hundreds of …

Dynamic DNA nanotechnology, a subfield of DNA nanotechnology, is concerned with the
study and application of nucleic acid strand-displacement reactions. Strand-displacement …

Motor proteins are nature's solution for directing movement at the molecular level. The field
of artificial molecular motors takes inspiration from these tiny but powerful machines …

DNA nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful tool to precisely design and control
molecular circuits, machines and nanostructures. A major goal in this field is to build devices …

The widespread use of controlled molecular‐level motion in key natural processes suggests
that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of …

INTRODUCTION Since the 1980s, the design and synthesis of molecular machines has
been identified as a grand challenge for molecular engineering. Robots are an important …

In nature, self-assembling and disassembling complexes of proteins and nucleic acids
bound to a variety of ligands perform intricate and diverse dynamic functions. In contrast …

In this review we chart recent advances in what is at once an old and very new field of
endeavour—the achievement of control of motion at the molecular level including solid-state …

Synthetic DNA motors have great potential to mimic natural protein motors in cells but the
operation of synthetic DNA motors in living cells remains challenging and has not been …
