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!

[Alex Lippert @lippertlab]

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.

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:

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

[Isaac Garcia Bosch @IsaacGB9]

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! https://t.co/Nf0akHJNJJ

[Pluth Group @PluthGroup]

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! https://t.co/jOf0Nfa71m

[SaraGutkin @GutkinSara]

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

[Shabat Group @ShabatGroup]

The final version of this work was published today in @angew_chem: https://t.co/blEhGcykGC
Many thanks to @JbaraM90 for the team effort.
