    The structural design of molecular machines and motors endows them with externally controlled directional motion at the molecular scale. Their further incorporation into surfaces and interfaces leads to amplified directional molecular motion at the nanoscale which can be applied to control macroscopic material properties. Additionally, they can be organized into three dimensional materials to expand their functionality in the solid state and enrich their applicability.

    This collection invites submissions of original research articles focused on innovative catalyst design, in-depth fundamental understanding, or reaction engineering that are needed to overcome kinetic and thermodynamic limitations of plastics deconstruction. This is a collaborative effort between the Energy Materials team at Nature Communications and the journals Communications Chemistry, Communications Materials, and Scientific Reports. We seek studies spanning a broad range of topics related to catalyst-driven technologies for plastics deconstruction and upcycling. Submissions on other aspects of catalytic reaction engineering are also welcome.

    Cell generate forces to maintain normal tissue morphology and function. Cells can also sense and process forces appropriate to their correct tissue context. With this cross-journal Collection between Communications Biology and Nature Communications, we welcome the submission of primary research articles exploring molecular mechanisms underlying how cells react to external mechanical stimuli, to forces between cells, and to intercellular forces
