Exciting chemsky work out First Release in @science.org from @gracegdhan.bsky.social and collaborators, scrunching up pyrimidones so tight with UV light that the strain release can boil water! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Molecular solar thermal energy storage in Dewar pyrimidone beyond 1.6 MJ/kg

Storing sunlight in a compact and rechargeable form remains a central challenge for solar energy utilization. Molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage systems, which harness photon energy and rel...

How about a greener alternative medium for molecular solar thermal energy storage!?🌊🌊☀️ Have a look at our latest work "Surfactant-enabled strategy for molecular solar thermal energy storage systems in water" (✨📚First paper as first author!✨) pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... #chemsky #molswitch

This week I had the opportunity to attend the great GRC Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors at Colby-Sawyer College, ☀️New Hampshire. A very enriching experience, full of interesting topics, meetings and fun!!🧪🏓🦐 #photoswitches #molswitch #chemsky

we are now an official research group at UPC :-) #molecularmaterials group - MOMA eq.upc.edu/en/Research/...

Earlier this year, we showed how #photoswitches can add storage and efficiency to photovoltaics. You can read the paper in Joule here #openaccess www.cell.com/joule/pdf/S2... And a nice article about the work in #Chemistryworld www.chemistryworld.com/news/photosw...
