Molecular switches are nanoscale devices that can reversibly change their state or conformation in response to external stimuli. These switches are typically individual molecules or molecular ...

Their findings lay the groundwork for designing more efficient photoactive materials, such as sensors and light-driven molecular switches, by leveraging the power of aromaticity in excited states.

The Yen laboratory is interested in the biology of RNA molecular switches (riboswitch), small catalytic RNAs, mutational RNA events in disease, and their applications in medicine. We use a variety of ...

This work highlights how molecular crosslinking can be used to reinforce dendrimers, and demonstrates how conjugated systems can be built simultaneously into these nanostructures. The definitive ...

Researchers demonstrate reversible switching of supramolecular chirality using light, enabling new design strategies for optical and electronic materials.

As building blocks for the creation of new nanomachines such as molecular motors, pumps and switches, they could make improvements in everything from the delivery of medicines to information ...
