From cells that migrate to tissues that heal, nature abounds with systems capable of sensing and adapting to their ...

Researchers unveil molecular strategies that enable materials to move, transform, and self-assemble—bridging chemistry and ...

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 investigates the association of discrete molecular entities through non‐covalent interactions, giving rise to architectures with remarkable specificity and responsiveness. A ...

Researchers were able to demonstrate for the first time that non-covalent bonds between spin centers are also capable of producing quartet states through spin mixing. Supramolecular chemistry is thus ...

Chemists have unveiled new supramolecular snub cubes—2,712-atom polyhedral assemblies made up of 12 identical helical macrocycles that are held together by 144 weak hydrogen bonds. Snub cubes are ...

The self-assembled state of the molecules determines the characteristics of supramolecular polymers. On the other hand, nothing is understood about how morphologies affect the characteristics of ...

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.

Researchers have developed a system for designing protein inhibitors with reversible activity. The method is based on a supramolecular drug that results from the interaction of two or more molecules ...

A team led by Associate Researcher Zhaoming Zhang and Researcher Xuzhou Yan from Shanghai Jiao Tong University introduced pseudorotaxane end groups of ...

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 ...
