The 2025 Artificial Molecular Switches & Motors GRC is accepting applications! See the fantastic lineup of speakers in technical sessions on molecular motors and switches, DNA nanotech, polymers, photonics, energy storage, biological machines, and more: grc.org/artificial-mol…

Greetings from the GRC on Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors! It’s exciting to see how the field has grown and is moving toward everyday applications—think photoswitchable tattoos!

The 2025 Artificial Molecular Switches & Motors GRC is less then 40 days away, but its not too late to claim your spot! Register now to learn about molecule-sized motors, DNA nanomachines, and photoswitches to cure blindness, store energy, and more. grc.org/artificial-mol…

Good news! We have a notice of funding from DoD Air Force OSR to support the 2025 Molexular Switches & Motors GRC. We will select talks from submitted abstracts soon! Grateful to scientific community and the Natural Materials and Systems program for their support. Stay strong

Happy new year with great new chemistry! We just disclosed a procedure for spiropyran exchange: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2… Our new method accelerates spiropyran photoswitch development and helps to boost the performance of dual color photoinitiators in xolography @xolo3D

We are thrilled to receive a new @NIH @NIGMS R35 MIRA award to support our work on the development of far-red and near-infrared emitting boracycles as deep-tissue penetrating photoactive agents! @gilliardgroup

We do Ni too!!! Please check this article published in @InorgChem in which our awesome undergrad student Daniel Ye (1st author!) describes the synthesis, characterization and PCET reactivity of a mononuclear NiOH system in three oxidation states. Enjoy! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

The next development in photopharmacology (and "photogastronomy"). Controlling the Menthol Receptor TRPM8 with light! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Check out our latest (small) contribution to in vivo photopharmacology. Diazocines rule! @KAJacobson pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Amazing seminar by @ronsmaldone and dinner celebration with @TsarevskyGroup @GhoshPokhrajLab @RuncevskiLab

The Role of Kinetic Asymmetry in Chemical and Thermodynamic Coupling - Dean Astumian - ChemSystemsChem - Wiley Online Library The essence of non-equilibrium is having several trajectories, with kinetic selection between them. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/G… …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Perfect end to my Denton/Dallas visit. Thank you Dia for the invitation & being a great host! Enjoyed meeting everyone at SMU Chemistry.

It’s nice to see that Photopharmacology has entered phase II clinical trials for vision restoration to the blind! clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06628…

Wonderful seminar by @TendaiGadzikwa and dinner celebration with @Lippert lab @RuncevskiLab

Amazing talk n dinner celebration with @MiljanicGroup @GhoshPokhrajLab @RuncevskiLab in

Interested in reactive S & N species? Check out Andy’s new @angew_chem paper on SNO- & SSNO- reactivity! Outlines H+ mediated conversion of SNO- to SSNO-, & connections w/ HNO, NO, & H2S. Also new reactivity w/ COS & other RSS. Great work @agdavis98! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Check out our latest work on the first PeT probe operating in chemiluminescence mode! Huge thanks to @JbaraM90 for the great collaboration!

The final version of this work was published today in @angew_chem: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… Many thanks to @JbaraM90 for the team effort.

Mazal tov to undergrad student Or Teveria on winning the outstanding poster award at the Chemical Engineering Department undergraduate research event! @arieluniversity @AUChemSciences
