An optically activated cantilever using photomechanical effects in dye-doped polymer fibers
, 2005 We report on what we believe is the first demonstration of an optically activated cantilever due to photomechanical effects in a dye-doped polymer optical fiber. The fiber is observed to bend when light is launched off-axis.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 3, 16 January 2026.We present a photoswitchable peptide conjugate which exhibits isomerism‐dependent self‐assembly: the planar trans‐isomer assembles into well‐ordered nanofibers while the non‐planar cis‐isomer yields disordered aggregates. Our study offers a direct visualization on the effects of structure formation inside living cells.

A cautionary tale of basic azo photoswitching in dichloromethane finally explained
Communications ChemistryMany studies of azobenzene photoswitches are carried out in polar aprotic solvents as a first principles characterization of thermal isomerization. Among the most convenient polar aprotic solvents are chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as DCM.
