Engineering the vibrational coherence of vision into a synthetic molecular device

The ultrafast, vibrationally coherent photoisomerization of rhodopsin is a model of efficient photomechanical energy conversion at the molecular scale. Here, the authors demonstrate a similar photoreaction in synthetic compounds, unraveling the underlying mechanism and discussing its implications.
