#MolecularMachines Our latest @J_A_C_S paper shows that cells can actually sense the shuttling molecular motions of signal molecules. We use topological constraints in mechanical bonds to tune the motions for signaling. Many thanks to all contributors! https://t.co/Ua1AP5JKuG
Thrilled to share our latest work published in
@angew_chem on an exotic cage-in-rings bioimaging probe, TPBCage6+⊂3CB[8], enabling high-contrast, lysosome-selective, deep-red imaging in living cells https://t.co/OeiHq5gFyU @TianjinUniv1895@YuWang1992@SmartMat2
Excited to share our new work out @NatureChemistry An overhand knot synthon enables the formation of trefoiled polymers with tunable topological and chemical features, directly visualized by STM . https://t.co/nmldOn0t78
Congratulations to the whole team!
How can orthogonal mechanochemical pathways be achieved within a single mechanophore? We introduce a three-arm pulling strategy that enables distinct pathways, identified by ¹⁹F NMR, expanding beyond the single pathway typically arising from two-point pulling geometries @J_A_C_S
Happy to share that I’m officially promoted to Associate Professor at SYSU, starting January 2026. Deep thanks for the trust, support, and my amazing group for walking this journey with me.
Three years was all it took to destroy the vinyl floor of our brand-new building 😅
New year, new floor of synthesis room. Ready to synthesize our way through 2026.
The Ke Lab @ WashU Chemistry is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher with background in supramolecular chemistry and polymer synthesis.
Work with us on supramolecularly designed polymer networks, and 3D-printing hydrogels.
