<jats:title>Nonequilibrium transient self-assembly</jats:title> <jats:p> In biology, the constant supply of energy can drive a system to be far from its equilibrium conditions and allow for useful work to be done. In contrast, in most synthetic systems, there is a drive toward lower energy states. Boekhoven <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> made a molecule that can switch between a nonassociating state and an associating state through the addition of a chemical fuel (see the Perspective by Van der Zwagg and Meijer). The lifetime, stiffness, and regenerative behavior of the self-assembled state could be controlled and tuned by the kinetics of fuel conversion. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6252" page="1075" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="349" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aac6103">1075</jats:related-article> ; see also p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6252" page="1056" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="349" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aad0194">1056</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
