Mechanoluminescence, or the generation of light from materials under external force, is a
powerful tool for biology and materials science. However, direct mechanoluminescence from …

Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) that respond to mechanical force are
increasingly used as force probes, memory devices, and advanced security systems. Most of …

Synthetic molecular photoswitches have taken center stage as high‐precision tools to
introduce light‐responsiveness at the smallest scales. Today they are found in all areas of …

As molecular design and the structure–property relationships of photochemical molecules
established in the literature serve as a convenient reference for mechanophore exploration …

Radiative cooling cools by radiating heat toward outer space. Evaporative cooling cools by
dispatching the latent heat of water via evaporation. These two types of cooling operate …

The unique reactivity of molecules under force commands an understanding of structure–
mechanochemical activity relationships. While conceptual frameworks for understanding …

Understanding structure–mechanical activity relationships (SMARs) in polymer
mechanochemistry is essential for the rational design of mechanophores with desired …

Since the dawn of photochemistry 150 years ago, photoreactions have been conducted
under polychromatic light. However, despite the pivotal role that photokinetics should …
