Constructing out-of-equilibrium molecular assemblies that deviate from thermodynamic equilibrium is a central challenge in ...

Initially, the synthesized molecules self-assemble into 1D coiled nanofibers. When left undisturbed under ambient light, ...

Supramolecular chemistry specializes in non-covalent interactions. These weak and reversible forces are key to understanding biological processes and self-assembling systems, and to constructing ...

The intense research in the fields of photochemistry and its applications in understanding the photosynthetic processes and solar energy conversion via chemical routes lead to the growth of ...

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 ...

Supramolecular systems-their successes, problems, and potential-are discussed with allusion to specific examples. Journal Information PNAS is the world's most-cited multidisciplinary scientific serial ...

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 synthesis and self-organization of biological macromolecules is essential for life on earth. Chemists now report the spontaneous emergence of complex ring-shaped macromolecules with low degrees of ...

There are no currently available ways to reverse spinal cord damage, but researchers are working to develop methods to regenerate neurons after spinal cord injury. A team has moved closer to that goal ...
