There's a new motor in town! 🏎️🔬
Out in @NatureChemistry, out latest study introduces a light-driven diazene molecular rotary motor able not only to achieve directional motion, but also to invert the rotation by varying the colour of the light supplied.

After years of work, persistence, and belief in an idea that once felt impossible, we’re excited to share our concept; an approach that we believe can shift the paradigm of multiphoton microscopy.
If you’re curious, here you can read more about: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-6…

We have succeeded to develop a binaphthyl-bridged imidazole dimer bearing alkylpyridinium groups that exhibits fast and visible-light-induced negative photochromism even in aqueous media. @ChemCommun

We elucidated the photoreaction mechanism of a fast negative photochromic molecule that becomes colorless upon visible-light irradiation and rapidly regains its color once the irradiation is stopped. -now published in @J_A_C_S

🚨📢Out now in @Chem_CP , @GalliumWu and I figure out how to perturb a non-photoresponsive reaction(🌚) out of equilibrium using our imine-based photoswitches🔦💡This is achieved using a light-responsive transimination!(🌝)
