The performance of drugs can be enhanced by directing their delivery to the exact location that they are required. To achieve this, we need host materials that can encapsulate these molecules and release them on demand. In this talk, I will describe how we can build materials that change their shape, structure, and properties when we shine different types of light on them. I will show how we can use these materials to target the release of molecules, such as drugs, store solar energy and release it as heat, and even create controllable diffusion channels.
