Ferroelectrics usually exhibit temperature‐triggered structural changes, which play crucial roles in controlling their physical properties. However, although light is very striking as a non‐contact, non‐destructive, and remotely controlled external ...

Fundamental limitations on photoisomerization from thermodynamic resource theories [PDF]
Small, out-of-equilibrium, and quantum systems defy simple thermodynamic expressions. Such systems are exemplified by molecular switches, which exchange heat with a bath.

Unveiling the role of dark states in dynamic control of azopyrrole photoisomerization by light-matter interaction [PDF]
Strong light-matter interactions demonstrated considerable potential to control photochemical reactions. Here, we coupled a single cavity mode to the electronic S0-S1 transition of azopyrrole E and Z-isomers.

Photoisomerization Efficiency of a Solar Thermal Fuel in the Strong Coupling Regime
Strong exciton‐photon coupling is achieved when the interaction between molecules and an electromagnetic field is increased to a level where they cannot be treated as separate systems.

Photoisomerization-coupled electron transfer [PDF]
Photochromic molecular structures constitute a unique platform for constructing molecular switches, sensors, and memory devices. One of their most promising applications is as light-switchable electron acceptor or donor units. Here, we investigate a previously unexplored process that we postulate may occur in such systems: an ultrafast electron ...

Coenzyme Q10 in the eye isomerizes by sunlight irradiation
Photoisomerization of lipids has been well studied. As for the eyes, photoisomerization from 11-cis isomer to all-trans-retinal is well-known as the first step of the visual transduction in the photoreceptors.

Noninvasive monitoring of bilirubin photoisomer excretion during phototherapy
Lumirubin is the most prevalently excreted hydrophilic bilirubin photoisomer in phototherapy for neonatal jaundice caused by excess hydrophobic unconjugated bilirubin (ZZ-bilirubin).

Electrostatic control of photoisomerization pathways in proteins
Electrostatics guide chromophore twist Photoisomerization—the twisting of bonds in a molecule in response to absorption of light—is exploited in biology to sense light and can influence the photophysical properties of fluorescent proteins used in imaging
