Researchers know how to bend molecules indirectly with safe red light

Researchers at Tampere University developed an approach to switch the molecules called azobenzenes from one geometrical state to another with red or near-infrared light without their direct excitation. This approach enables low energy switching that can give new tools to work with soft robotics and activate drugs with light.

Our research on azobenzene-based surface topography to guide cell confinement and migration has been published in Nature.

Our group members Chiara Fedele, Mari Isomäki, and Arri Priimägi in collaboration with the groups of Teemu Ihalainen (Cellular Biophysics group) and Soile Nymark (Biophysics of the Eye group) at Tampere University have established that light can be used to control cellular behaviour by light induced surface topography changes.
