A consensus established by extensive thermodynamic and structural studies of proteins and DNA is that water acts as an indispensable structural cofactor rather than a passive solvent for biomolecules. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether trace water still exerts a stabilizing effect on proteins under ultradry con...

Proteins that withstand mechanical forces in nature possess evolved architectures that resist forced unfolding, yet mimicking this robustness in engineered proteins remains challenging. Although metal coordination bonds can act as powerful molecular clamps, their incorporation has been largely empirical, with no ration...

Supramolecular adhesives enable on-demand detachment due to their dynamic nature. However, such behavior usually at the cost of limited adhesive toughness. To promote the intrinsic compromise between adhesive toughness and switchability, we propose a soft-confinement-regulated nanorod crystallization strategy to constr...
