  • Mechanical motions of molecular crystals have been limited to in-place movement or slow crawling. Here, the authors describe chiral azobenzene crystals that walk or roll quickly forward in response to heating or cooling, offering new modes of material locomotion.

  • Stimuli-responsive molecular organic crystals are of interest as actuating materials, but their mechanical responses are often poorly understood. Here, the authors study the photo-triggered phase transition of a chiral salicylideneamine crystal and uncover superelastic behaviour induced by light irradiation.

  • Structural phase transitions induced by external stimuli play crucial roles in controlling the functions of solid-state materials. Here the authors report the photo-triggered phase transition of a photochromic chiral salicylideneamine crystal, and probe the local effects driving the transition.
