In full swing : Nonlinear oscillations by molecular signals are one of the inherent properties of life. An artificial ion‐gating membrane, which was synthesized from a thermosensitive polymer and a crown ether, generated a relaxation oscillation similar to that of neurons in response to a specific ion signal (see picture).
