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 …

One of the most influential books ever to have been written in the field of chemistry is e
Nature of the Chemical Bond by Linus Pauling [1], the first edition of which was published in …

Pumps and motors are essential components of the world as we know it. From the complex
proteins that sustain our cells, to the mechanical marvels that power industries, much we …

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 …

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 …

Non‐equilibrium chemical systems underpin multiple domains of contemporary interest,

Objects in all dimensions are subject to translational dynamism and dynamic mutual
interactions, and the ability to exert control over these events is one of the keys to the …

Dissipative self-assembly is exploited by nature to control important biological functions,
such as cell division, motility and signal transduction. The ability to construct synthetic …

Carrier proteins consume fuel in order to pump ions or molecules across cell membranes,
creating concentration gradients. Their control over diffusion pathways, effected entirely …

In mechanically interlocked compounds, such as rotaxanes and catenanes, the molecules
are held together by mechanical rather than chemical bonds. These compounds can be …
