Molecular engineering has emerged as an approach to integrate molecular‐level science and engineering to develop solutions to urgent societal problems. It aims to bring together molecular design—both rational and evolutionary, chemistry, and assembly to achieve new (bio)materials and device functionality. Molecular engineering also aims to bring researchers together to create new research interfaces between computation, machine learning, (bio)chemical synthesis and technology creation perspectives to accelerate new technologies for water and energy resources, information security, and human health.
