Harnessing Solar Energy with Optimized Molecular Photoswitches
Recent advances in technology have enabled researchers to develop a new type of photoswitch that can be optimized to convert solar energy into useful forms of energy. This photoswitch, called a molecular photoswitch, is a molecule that changes its shape when exposed to light. This change in shape can be used to control the properties of the particular molecule, allowing it to be used in a variety of ways such as controlling electrical current or creating chemical reactions. This new technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we use solar energy in our everyday lives.
