A molecular robot, which is a system comprised of one or more molecular machines and
computers, can execute sophisticated tasks in many fields that span from nanomedicine to …

Supramolecular chemistry enables the manipulation of functional components on a
molecular scale, facilitating a “bottom-up” approach to govern the sizes and structures of …

Unlike many other biologically relevant ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl−, etc) and protons, whose
cellular concentrations are closely regulated by highly selective channel proteins, Li+ ion is …

Biomimetic membranes incorporating artificial water channels (AWCs) are being developed
for industrial water purification. Designing AWCs to achieve high water permeation with salt …

Transport of water across cell membranes is a fundamental process for important biological
functions. Herein, we focused our research on a new type of symmetrical saccharide rim …

Inspired by the design criteria of heteroditopic receptors for ion-pair binding, we herein
describe a new strategy to construct a rotaxane transporter (RR [2]) for K+/Cl− co-transport …

The first generation self-assembling dendron (4Bp-3, 4) nG1CO 2 CH 3 where Bp is
biphenyl, n is an achiral linear, n-dodecyl, or branched chiral alkyl group,(S)-3, 7-dimethyl …

A molecular scale understanding of the fast and selective water transport in biological water
channels, aquaporins (AQPs), has inspired attempts to mimic its performance in synthetic …

Membrane-active molecular machines represent a recently emerging, yet important line of
expansion in the field of artificial transmembrane transporters. Their hitherto demonstrated …

The applications of polymeric membranes have grown rapidly compared to traditional
separation technologies due to their energy efficiency and smaller footprint. However, their …
