Desynchronized liquid crystalline network actuators with deformation reversal capability

Liquid crystalline network (LCN) actuators switch reversibly between two states. Here, the authors report an asymmetrically processed LCN actuator which allows desynchronized actuation between three states using light and thermal stimuli.

Selective binding of choline by a phosphate-coordination-based triple helicate featuring an aromatic box

The choline-binding protein ChoX exhibits a synergistic dual-site binding mode that allows it to discriminate choline over structural analogues. Here, the authors design a biomimetic triple anion helicate receptor whose selectivity for choline arises from a similar binding mechanism.
