Force generation by a propagating wave of supramolecular nanofibers

The rational design of spatiotemporal patterns in artificial molecular systems remains at an early stage of development. Here, the authors design a reaction network to control the formation and degradation of nanofibers by orthogonal chemical stimuli and describe force generation by a propagating wa...
