Using a synthetic molecular spring device in a system for dynamically controlling a system property, such as momentum, topography, and electronic behavior. System features (a) the synthetic molecular spring device having ( i) at least one synthetic molecular assembly each featuring at least one chemic al unit including at least one: (1) atom; (2) complexing group complexed to at least one atom; (3) axial ligand reversibly physicochemically paired with at least one complexed atom; and (4) substantially elastic molecular linker; an d, (ii) an activating mechanism directed to at least one atom-axial ligand pair ; and, (b) a selected unit operatively coupled to synthetic molecular assembly , and exhibiting the system property. Activating mechanism sends an activating signal to atom-axial ligand pairs, for physicochemically modifying atom-axia l ligand pairs, thereby activating at least one cycle of spring-type elastic reversible transitions between contracted and expanded linear conformational states of substantially elastic molecular linkers, causing dynamically controllable change in the system property.
