Episode 23 - The Trojan Molecule - a podcast by Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering, Imperial College London

Molecules that change shape when light falls on them have many uses. Like the Trojan Horse, they can look benign, but transform into a weapon under the right circumstances. This week we explore how photoswitchable molecules could help tackle the next pandemic.

The research we’re discussing is published here: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/jacsau.2c00453
