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 …

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 …

Within living systems, molecular-scale responses to stimuli flow together into the intricate
and robust signal transduction networks that process information for an organism. Studies of …

Supramolecular chemistry mainly focuses on the chemical systems assembled by a discrete
number of molecular components through weak and reversible noncovalent interactions …

The history of isomeric types of organic molecules has passed through several important
stages:(1) Molecules that differ from each other with different numbers and types of atoms;(2) …

Dynamic covalent chemistry relates to chemical reactions carried out reversibly under
conditions of equilibrium control. The reversible nature of the reactions introduces the …

More than a quarter of a century after the first metal template synthesis of a [2] catenane in
Strasbourg, there now exists a plethora of strategies available for the construction of …

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 …

The miniaturization of components used in the construction of working devices is being
pursued currently by the large‐downward (top‐down) fabrication. This approach, however …

We report the incrementally staged design, synthesis, characterization, and operation of a
molecular machine that behaves like a nanoscale elevator. The operation of this device …
