Molecular recognition has evolved from a science designed to understand biological systems into a much more diverse area of research. While work continues to elucidate "nature's tricks" with respect to intermolecular interactions, much attention has turned to the perspective that molecular recognition, by design, can lead to new technologies. Applications ranging from molecular sensing to information storage and even working molecular machines have been envisioned.
