Did you know #azobenzene can sense temperature 🌡️? Researchers from Tampere University show that #protonation is highly dependent on temperature. This discovery could pave the way for designing new temperature #sensors:

Happy that this is finally published and making noise! 💃🏿💃🏿

What better than a rollercoaster for this work? It took many ups and downs to get this explained.

Great work from Nadja Singer and Kathi Schlögl! Worked hard to understand half-lives in these #azobenzene #photoswitches !
