Mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) not only represent non-trivial synthetic challenges that require the state of the art in structural designs and precise preparations, but also play critical ...

π-Conjugated molecules and polymers have shown a lot of potential in a broad range of electronic, photonic, spintronic, sensing and biomedical applications. Their properties depend on our ability to ...

Scientists created dye-based molecules that self-assemble into ring-shaped structures, mimicking nature's light-harvesting systems. These stacked rings allow electrons and energy to circulate freely, ...

The molecular-scale design of materials is one of the major frontiers in modern science. Flat, highly conjugated organic molecules are already used in advanced technologies such as chemical sensors, ...

We pioneer the use of an aromatic hydrocarbon derivative to break through the limitation of molecular conductors. The constituent molecules for conductors have been practically limited to planar ...
