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 ...

Iron oxide-incorporated conjugated polymer nanoparticles, also known as conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs), are highly fluorescent particles composed of a semiconductor light-emitting polymer ...

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, ...

A research team has synthesized three-dimensionally shaped molecules containing an internal twist and shown that they possess the properties of organic semiconductors. By introducing methyl groups ...

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 ...
