Self‐propelled objects exhibiting “nonlinear behavior” have a tremendous amount of potential for bringing nonliving materials close to living things. In their Minireview on page 6308 ff. N. J. Suematsu and S. Nakata introduce typical examples of such self‐propelled objects and explain their basic mechanisms. As information on the nature of the molecule is added, the self‐propelled object grows rapidly and will show a variety of characteristic behaviors similar to biological systems.
