Researchers have created 'smart' microparticles that self-assemble in response to the addition of a specific molecule. This work can help explain the behavior of biomolecular complexes, as well as ...

Chemists have developed a bioinspired supramolecular approach to convert photo-switchable molecules from their stable state into metastable one with low-energy red light. Their work enables fast, ...

Supramolecular chemistry is a rapidly evolving field that explores how discrete molecules interact through reversible non‐covalent forces to form complex assemblies. Among its many facets, host-guest ...

Until now, research has assumed that the interaction between two spin centres can only be strong enough for successful quartet formation if the centres are covalently linked. Due to the high effort ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The conversion of sunlight into usable energy lies at the center of modern strategies for renewable energy development. Among natural processes, photosynthesis remains the most ...

Vesicle-based prototissue fibers can be shaped into specific patterns through controlled assembly. Researchers demonstrated this by creating letter-shaped patterns at the microscale, showcasing the ...

In the field of drug delivery systems, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions that offer injectable delivery, controlled release profiles, and the ability to accommodate multiple drugs.

While this scanning electron microscope image may look like a harbinger of doom—perhaps a symptom of a haunted instrument or a cursed lab—Gustavo Porrata Caraballo says there’s a perfectly rational ...

This course introduces first year graduate and undergraduates in materials science and chemistry to supramolecular design of materials and nanostructures. The course focuses on the synthetic methods ...

Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of self-assembly of discrete molecules that are used to build functional large structures. Often, these molecules are allowed to self-assemble into ...
