Our perspective on mechanical strength of the mechanical bond under high tension was been released @Innov_Materials
New in The Innovation Materials! Insight into the implication of high-loading mechanical force on the mechanical bond. In this perspective, Zhang discussed the mechanical susceptibility of mechanical bonds, specifically focusing on the rupture of #covalent bonds within the

Out in @NatureChemistry with @GuillaumeDeBo grp. Overhand knot substantially increases scission of polymer under tension (≥2.6× faster); deformation by knot tightening activates otherwise unreactive bonds. Congrats @MinZhangw @FSchaufelberger Lucian &Rob!

🥨Overhand knot is one of the most reactive mechanophores as force-induced deformation leads to accelerated bond scission in the contracting knot! Great collab with @MinZhangw, Rob @FSchaufelberger, Lucian and @ProfDaveLeigh now in @NatureChemistry. https://t.co/a0qW6quXN1

Our latest work just out in @NatureChemistry. Knot tightening activates otherwise unreactive covalent bond under tension. It's a great teamwork in @ProfDaveLeigh group and collaboration with @GuillaumeDeBo group. Thanks @FSchaufelberger Lucian and Rob.

Congrats to Lei, Rob and Guillaume!
I'm very pleased to share our work on the force-controlled release of small molecules with a rotaxane actuator. Published today in @Nature thanks to the incredible work of @LeiChen63199376 and Rob Nixon! https://t.co/eI7xQ8Dqgj

Enjoy to read our work in research of the first catenane in @ProfDaveLeigh's lab. Many thanks to all our collaborators @albanogalan, @JustinTJSpence and Dan, and of course our team legend @AndreiBaluna!
Find out all about our journey in search of the first catenane in @ProfDaveLeigh's lab. Out in JACS now ( https://t.co/XI2dQkv4Q0). Many thanks to my collaborators @albanogalan, @JustinTJSpence, @MinZhangw and Dan for all their hard work and for not giving up.

Beautiful work from @LiangZhang1023 and the team! Great congrats!
Our back to back @Chem_CP papers about stereoselective synthesis of a cinquefoil knot and a Star of David are online now! Belated dedication to @sirfrasersays who coined the term 'Molecular Nanotopology ' on the occasion of his 80 Birthday! Free read links are attached below!

Amazing art! Big congrats to all the team!
In @Nature, a tape-reading molecule that reads stereochemistry rather than nucleotide codons😃 https://t.co/rSYjlAZJy5 Congrats to @YansongRen @RJamagne & Dan! Many tks to @SciCommStudios for graphics & animation🙏 [📽️:bottom left=tape potential energy surface; right=CD spectrum]
