Abstract

Abstract: Soft and flexible two‐dimensional (2D) systems, such as liquid interfaces, would have much more potentials in dynamic regulation on nano–macro connected functions. In this Minireview article, we focus especially on dynamic motional functions at liquid dynamic interfaces as 2D material systems. Several recent examples are selected to be explained for overviewing features and importance of dynamic soft interfaces in a wide range of action systems. The exemplified research systems are mainly classified into three categories: (i) control of microobjects with motional regulations; (ii) control of molecular machines with functions of target discrimination and optical outputs; (iii) control of living cells including molecular machine functions at cell membranes and cell/biomolecular behaviors at liquid interface. Sciences on soft 2D media with motional freedom and their nanoarchitectonics constructions will have increased importance in future technology in addition to popular rigid solid 2D materials. Abstract : Dynamic ! Special focus is put on dynamic functions at liquid dynamic interfaces as two‐dimensional (2D) material systems. Three topics are mainly discussed: (i) control of microobject regulations, (ii) control of molecular machines with functions of target discrimination and optical outputs, and (iii) control of living cells including molecular machine functions at cell membranes and cell behaviors at the liquid interface.
