Tethered molecular switches as step toward actuators for nanotechnology

Exposure to two different wavelengths of light can cause the azobenzene molecule to switch back and forth between two different shapes. This molecular shape-changing works well in solution but until now has not worked with molecules attached to surfaces. Now scientists from Penn State University and Rice University have found a way to make the… Continue reading Tethered molecular switches as step toward actuators for nanotechnology
