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. nature.com/articles/s4155…

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…

@ManiklalShee @angew_chem Thanks!

@jiro_abe @angew_chem Congratulations 👏👏 excellent work

Excited to share our latest work, “Rapid and Reversible Visible-Light-Induced Helix Inversion in Chiral Liquid Crystals Doped with a Negative Photochromic Molecule”, reported in @angew_chem. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

@Yagai_G @angew_chem どうもありがとうございます。相澤君、頑張ってますよ。来週、よろしくお願いします。

@jiro_abe @angew_chem 相澤くん頑張りましたね！すばらしいメゾヒエ成果です

@The_LightLab @angew_chem Thank you so much for your interest!

@jiro_abe @angew_chem Terrific work! Amazing visuals.

@_sbaumert @angew_chem Thanks!

@jiro_abe @angew_chem Great work ! おめでとう御座います🥳

@hasegawa_masasi Thanks!

Cool stuff!

Check out how to spin state switch with visible light! Teamwork of @DumeleLab, Thomas Lohmiller, @sabine_richert, Philipp Thielert, and @TheGatherLab. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our work has been featured as the back cover artwork. pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

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 doi.org/10.1039/D5CC04…

【メゾヒエ若手会の受賞】 阿部（A03）グループの三橋花楓さん（青山学院大学，M1）が2025年光化学討論会において優秀学生発表賞（ポスター）を受賞しました。おめでとうございます！ 演題「ピリジニウムイオン構造を導入したビナフチル架橋イミダゾール二量体の逆フォトクロミズム」 @jiro_abe

@DumeleLab @angew_chem @takumamiymura @jo_chembln @ChemUniCologne Oliver, Nice review!

New Review out in @angew_chem: "Organic Spin-State Photoswitches" will tell you how to generate diradicals on demand, change spin states from singlets to triplets, in a bistable fashion. By Takuma @takumamiymura and Joël @jo_chembln, @ChemUniCologne 🔗🔓tiny.cc/Spinstate

With highlighted contributions from the literature of @FeringaLab @ManabuDr @jiro_abe @michal_juricek @JuricekLab @prince_ravat @TomSolomek and many more.

@JamLam2025 Thanks!

@jiro_abe The coolest video I saw today

The colorless solution develops color upon visible-light irradiation. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

@Ella_Maru @J_A_C_S Thanks!

@jiro_abe @J_A_C_S Amazing work! Congratulations, Dr. Abe!

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 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

@CatAstro_Piyush Thanks!

@jiro_abe Very interesting! gonna learn more about this 📝

@VishalBPurohit Thanks!

Amazing research on Photochromic Reaction.
