Mechanochemistry describes diverse phenomena in which mechanical load affects
chemical reactivity. The fuzziness of this definition means that it includes processes as …

Traditional chemotherapy suffers from severe toxicity and side effects that limit its maximum
application in cancer therapy. To overcome this challenge, an ideal treatment strategy would …

Lanthanide-derived flexible luminescent hydrogels have attracted attention due to their
unique physical, chemical, and biological properties, which enable the construction of …

The analysis at the single-molecule level of proteins and their interactions can provide
critical information for understanding biological processes and diseases, particularly for …

A near-infrared (NIR) mechanophore was developed and incorporated into a poly (methyl
acrylate) chain to showcase the first force-induced NIR chromism in polymeric materials …

This paper describes a mechanical approach to inducing the atropisomerization of a parallel
diarylethene into its antiparallel diastereomers exhibiting distinct chemical reactivity. A …

The correlation of mechanical properties of polymer materials with those of their molecular
constituents is the foundation for their holistic comprehension and eventually for improved …

The regulation of enzyme activity is a method to control biological function. We report two
systems enabling the ultrasound‐induced activation of thrombin, which is vital for secondary …

Mechanical force responsive drug delivery systems (in terms of mechanical force induced
chemical bond breakage or physical structure destabilization) have been recently explored …

Smart materials can respond to stimuli and adapt their responses based on external cues
from their environments. Such behavior requires a way to transport energy efficiently and …
