| Abstract | With the support of the Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry Program in the Division of Chemistry, Dr. Read de Alaniz of the University of California Santa Barbara will explore new ways to use light to control materials. This project will focus on developing new photoresponsive molecules that changes their shape, color, and molecular properties when exposed to visible light, including sunlight. These molecules, known as photoswitches, will be designed to work in water and solid mate |
