We first dove deep into the minimal ingredients needed to make a mechanical molecular switch, as an emerging property: a catch bond is built from slip bonds. We proposed a strategy to engineer the mechanochemical energy landscape https://t.co/u7ZXOWzVQ2

Catch bonds, supramolecular bonds that strengthen under tension, are a unique mechanical design element in Nature that know no synthetic equivalent yet. As a first step, we (i.e. @galen_martijn) just published a chemical design model how this can be done:
