Molecular Photogearing for Controlling Rotary Motion at the Nanoscale
ChemPlusChem, Volume 91, Issue 4, April 2026.Molecular gears capable of controlling and transmitting rotary motion at the nanoscale are indispensable for the construction of artificial molecular machines. In this concept, we discuss how molecular photogears featuring a propeller‐shaped motif attached to a light‐driven molecular motor offer new possibilities to perform these tasks with better ...

Directional Bias in Molecular Photogearing Evidenced by LED‐Coupled Chiral Cryo‐HPLC
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 136, Issue 38, September 16, 2024.Significant directionality bias for the coupled rotations of a light‐powered molecular photogear is evidenced by analysis of its enantiomeric states. Using a custom designed LED‐coupled chiral cryo‐HPLC setup, the sense of directionality of coupled double‐ and single bond rotations during photogearing could be elucidated directly.

Hydraulic In Vitro Characterization of MR‐Conditional Blood Pumps
Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 393-403, March 2026.Cardiac surgery in neonates requires close placement of cardiopulmonary bypass machines due to limited blood volume, complicating MR compatibility. This study introduces three MR‐conditional blood pump prototypes. None interfered with MRI imaging, though RF‐related sensor effects remain untested.
