Scientists from Prague have developed a new type of molecular photographer, under the influence of light, turning from normal state into a long -term version of the magnetic (diradykal), retaining operation for more than six hours. Previously, such conditions only existed Mili.
The molecule based on Ailhydrazone Thynile can not only change the magnetic properties but also participate in chemical reactions. In Catalis, her form of light control successfully initiated Toluol's bromination. In the field of data storage and spinningics, the molecule allows you to perform the entire cycle of recording recording recording information: Data recorded by light, magnetic reading and completely deleted by an electrical pulse.
The opening of the most promising application in medicine. After light irradiation, the molecules produce ROS, effectively destroy bacteria and antibiotic fungi effectively, including Staphylococcus. In this case, the effect is only observed in the irrigation area.
The molecules are easy and cheap to synthesize: A kilogram of substances in the laboratory conditions cost about 43 dollars.
