When certain nanometer-sized molecules have the ability to bind together loosely and encapsulate other molecules in nanospace, a supramolecule is formed. Although the word may not be familiar to us, supramolecules actually support our lives in different ways. Their fascinating features, capabilities and applications are illustrated in this 5-minute video. A researcher at Tokyo Tech, Masahiro teamed up with prof. Jonathan Nitschke of the University of Cambridge and others involved in this research.
