One basic principle regulating self-assembly is associated with the asymmetry of constituent
building blocks or packing models. Using asymmetry to manipulate molecular-level devices …

Helical structures are ubiquitous in natural and engineered systems across multiple length
scales. Examples include DNA molecules, plants' tendrils, sea snails' shells, and spiral …

Due to the intrinsic properties of fabrics, fabric‐based wearable systems have certain
advantages over elastomeric material‐based stretchable electronics. Here, a method to …

Skeletal muscle provides inspiration on how to achieve reversible, macroscopic, anisotropic
motion in soft materials. Here we report on the bottom-up design of macroscopic tubes that …

Development of stimuli-responsive soft matter that undergoes fast and reversible shape
changes that mimic living organisms is a grand challenge for materials science. We report …

This paper describes the fabrication of elastomeric three‐dimensional (3D) structures
starting from two‐dimensional (2D) sheets using a combination of direct‐ink printing and …

Transfer of molecular chirality to supramolecular chirality at nanoscale and microscale by
chemical self-assembly has been studied intensively for years. However, how such …

Helix structures, which are frequently observed in nature, act as versatile structural
templates for complex functionalities with asymmetry and anisotropy. However, atomically …

Living systems propagate by undergoing rounds of cell growth and division. Cell division is
at heart a physical process that requires mechanical forces, usually exerted by assemblies …

Spatial patterns are ubiquitous in both physical and biological systems. We have recently
discovered that mitotic chromosomes sequentially acquire two interesting morphological …
