Funded Activity Summary
Controlling chemistry with light-powered molecular machines. This project aims to develop easily prepared synthetic molecules capable of performing complex tasks, such as controlled molecular motion or signal amplification, using visible light both as a fuel and a reporting mechanism. The challenge of using non-destructive visible light to control molecular motion is one of the most fundamental in science. The development of small molecular 'swimmers' would represent a landmark advance in the field. An expected outcome of the project is the control and monitoring of synthetic small molecule motion and function using visible light. These fundamental studies should benefit society by reducing energy consumption and waste during processes from production to disposal.Funded Activity Details
