Porous organic cages (POCs) are a relatively new class of low-density crystalline materials
that have emerged as a versatile platform for investigating molecular recognition, gas …

Manipulation and navigation of micro and nanoswimmers in different fluid environments can
be achieved by chemicals, external fields, or even motile cells. Many researchers have …

Biological materials are self-assembled with near-atomic precision in living cells, whereas
synthetic 3D structures generally lack such precision and controllability. Recently, DNA …

Flavylium compounds are a well-known family of pigments because they are prevalent in the
plant kingdom, contributing to colors over a wide range from shades of yellow-red to blue in …

Using individual molecules as conducting bridges for electrons offers opportunities when
investigating quantum phenomena that are not readily accessible from experiments …

Life is a non‐equilibrium state of matter maintained at the expense of energy. Nature uses
predominantly chemical energy stored in thermodynamically activated, but kinetically stable …

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 …

Over the past century, adsorption has been investigated extensively in equilibrium systems,
with a focus on the van der Waals interactions associated with physisorption and electronic …

All biological pumps are autonomous catalysts; they maintain the out-of-equilibrium
conditions of the cell by harnessing the energy released from their catalytic decomposition of …

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 …
