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 …

Although there are no fundamental factors hindering the development of nanoscale
structures, there is a growing realization that “engineering down” approaches, in other words …

The tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis (paraquat‐p‐phenylene), also known as the little blue
