Precise control over molecular movement is of fundamental and practical importance in
physics, biology, and chemistry. At nanoscale, the peculiar functioning principles and the …

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 …

With the serendipitous discovery of crown ethers by Pedersen more than half a century ago
and the subsequent introduction of host–guest chemistry and supramolecular chemistry by …

Abstract Systems that are intelligent have the ability to sense their surroundings, analyze,
and respond accordingly. In nature, many biological systems are considered intelligent (eg …

In this review, we survey the diversity of structures and functions which are encountered in
advanced self-assembled nanomaterials. We highlight their flourishing implementations in …

“When we get to the very, very small world… we have a lot of new things that would happen
that represent completely new opportunities for design… At the atomic level we have new …

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 …

A rotaxane-based molecular shuttle has been synthesized in which the switching of the
position of a fluorescent macrocycle on the thread turns “on” or “off” the circularly polarized …

Digital electronics is so widely used in everyday life that it is almost impossible to find an
electric device that does not make use of digital electronic components. On average, 85% of …
