✦AI Summary
Researchers are developing self-building molecular rings known as rotaxanes, which consist of ring-shaped molecules threaded onto a linear axle. This advancement in molecular engineering could lead to more precise drug delivery systems and the creation of innovative smart materials.
Rotaxanes are dumbbell-shaped mechanically interlocked molecules in which one or more ring-shaped molecules are threaded through a linear segment, known as the axle. To keep the ring from sliding off…
