The synthesis of antiaromatic molecules with intense near-infrared (NIR) absorption is challenging due to their inherently forbidden HOMO–LUMO transitions. Herein, we report the synthesis of anthra...

A new series of photoswitchable organogermanium based on dithienylethenes with germole as the ethene bridge has been designed and synthesized. The rational designs of the germole-fused dithienyleth...

DNA polymerases achieved high fidelity via kinetic proofreading. However, due to the lack of proper enzymatic reaction models, the mechanism has not yet been successfully applied to quantify the...

Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals are now the workhorse in colloidal optical nanomaterials because of their simpler synthesis and bright emission. Making a robust shell of high-bandgap covalent...

Fluoride is orthogonal to cellular metabolism and can serve as an effective chemical trigger for modulating biological systems. Here, we present a genetically encoded actuator platform based on the...

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) is a powerful isothermal strategy for nucleic acid detection, but its linear kinetics and dependence on externally supplied primers limit its sensitivity and...

Peptide-based coacervates demonstrate remarkable potential across interdisciplinary fields of biomedicine and materials science due to their sequence programmability, dynamic self-assembly capabili...

Coupling molecular-level chemical networks to macroscopic functions provides a step toward the implementation of rudimentary forms of agency in life-like objects and materials. Here, a negative...

We synthesized ternary heterostructures of Sb2VO5 nanorods, CdS quantum dots (QDs), and zinc(II) 5-(3-carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-(triphenyl)porphyrin (Zn3MCP), hereafter referred to as Sb2VO5/CdS-Zn3MCP...

Stabilizing high-voltage cathodes in lithium metal batteries (LMBs) remains a key challenge due to severe interfacial degradation. Although anion-derived, inorganic-rich cathode-electrolyte interph...

Intercalated group-V transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) exhibit a variety of magnetotransport phenomena arising from diverse nuclear and magnetic structures. However, a comprehensive mapping of...

Advances in photocatalysis have significantly expanded the chemist’s toolbox, enabling the use of sustainable C-1 feedstocks for the synthesis of carboxylic acids. While linear-selective carboxylat...

Metal-oxo complexes (MOs) are pivotal in oxidation chemistry for their ability to activate strong C–H bonds. Among them, the octahedral nonheme iron(IV)-oxo [Fe(IV)-oxo] complex, [(Me3NTB)FeIV(O)(X...

Molecular piezoelectrics are a potentially disruptive technology, enabling a new generation of self-powered electronics that are flexible, high performing, and inherently low in toxicity. Although...

Single-molecule switches, the smallest fundamental components of nearly all electronic devices, represent an essential pathway toward device miniaturization and multifunctionality. However, achieving...

Tacticity critically governs polymer properties, yet achieving precise stereoregularity from racemic monomers remains an enduring challenge. The equal reactivity of enantiomers under isotropic...

Charge transfer, which is closely related to the molecular structure and packing order of polymer semiconductors, plays a critical role in determining their photocatalytic performance. Metal poly(h...

Trigocherrins A (1) and C (2), isolated from an endangered tropical plant in New Caledonia, belong to a rare class of daphnane diterpenoid orthoesters with an unusual conjugated dichloroalkene...
