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

Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitches, known for their reversible photoinduced cyclization and
cycloreversion reactions, have shown great promise in various fields such as optical data …

The ability to influence key properties of molecular systems by using light holds much
promise for the fields of materials science and life sciences. The cornerstone of such …

In order to respond to light stimuli, materials and devices thereof must contain a
photoresponsive component. Ideally, this response is reversible and can be tuned …
