Molecular photoswitches enable dynamic control of processes with high spatiotemporal
precision, using light as external stimulus, and hence are ideal tools for different research …

Photoresponsive supramolecular polymers are well‐organized assemblies based on highly
oriented and reversible noncovalent interactions containing photosensitive molecules as (co …

Light offers unique opportunities for controlling the activity of materials and biosystems with
high spatiotemporal resolution. Molecular photoswitches are chromophores that undergo …

Donor–acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) photoswitches have gained a lot of attention
since their discovery in 2014. Their negative photochromism, visible light absorbance …

Molecular photoswitches reversibly convert the energy of light into a variety of structural
changes at the molecular level. They can be integrated into smart materials with broad …

Amphiphilic molecules, comprising hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties and the intrinsic
propensity to self‐assemble in aqueous environment, sustain a fascinating spectrum of …

The ability of molecular photoswitches to convert on/off responses into large macroscale
property change is fundamental to light-responsive materials. However, moving beyond …

This work combines hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) experiments performed in the NIR
range (1.30 and 1.60 μm) and quantum chemical calculations to provide a comprehensive …

Using smart photochromic and luminescent tissues in camouflage/cloaking of natural
creatures has inspired efforts to develop synthetic stimuli-responsive materials for data …

Secret information recorded by traditional single-encrypted invisible inks is easily cracked
because the inks can switch only between “NONE” and “TRUTH”. Developing double …
