Mechanophores are force-sensitive molecules that can be activated upon elongation with the help of actuating polymers. Mechanophores have been designed for various applications including force-sensing...

Polymer mechanochemistry enables control over the chemical reactivity through defined force-loading geometries. However, in most mechanophores, force is transmitted through only two loading points, wh...

Mechanochemistry has emerged as a powerful strategy for controlling chemical reactivity and tuning material properties through applied force. Within this growing field, mechanochromic mechanophores ha...

Controlling the life cycle of polymer materials, for example, by extending their useful lifetime and by accelerating their recycling, is crucial to ensure a better future. Such properties can be intro...

The presence or absence of the Pd template used in rotaxane formation selectively leads to two different mechanochemical dissociation pathways. The Pd maintains a smaller cavity size that favors diss....

Radical chain initiation strategies are fundamental to the synthesis of small molecule drugs and macromolecular materials. Here a general, thermally driven and scalable method for reductive initiation...

The most common destination for eventual Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry and medicine since 2000 is the United States, Nature has found.

Cyclo[N]carbons, molecular rings consisting solely of N carbon atoms, have previously been studied in the gas phase and on surfaces at cryogenic temperatures, but they are generally considered too rea...
