  • The reconstruction and control of supramolecular ropes using minimalist building units remains a fundamental challenge. Here the authors demonstrate self-assembly of cyclo-tryptophan-proline dipeptide stereoisomers into crystalline supramolecular triple-helical structures with tunable S- or Z- twists governed by the configuration of tryptophan residues.

  • To date the performance of molecular electronics compared to silicon limits their applications. Yang et al. develop the first mechano-optoelectronic switch based on mechanically controlled aggregation-induced emission of the self-assembled molecules, which can be reversibly switched at high speed.

  • Gramicidin A pores are important natural structures for the transport of ions through biological membranes. Here, the authors show that this functionality can be mimicked using an artificial transmembrane channel formed of synthetic pore-forming compounds.

  • Piezoelectric materials which are non-toxic and eco-friendly are of interest. Here, the authors report on the creation of collagen-mimetic peptides which can be self-assembled into piezoelectric materials and study the design characteristics required for optimized power generation.

  • Crystals that undergo mechanical motion in response to light are of great interest for the development of photoactuating smart materials, but their disintegration hinders the characterization of accompanying structural changes. Here, two iso-structural photoreactive metal-organic crystals are found to undergo [2 + 2] cycloaddition under UV light in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal manner, enabling detailed characterization of their photomechanical behaviours.
