Machines require power supplies : To address this need at the nanoscale, a photoactive molecular triad (T) has been prepared that converts light into electrical energy (see picture). In initial tests, such a triad has been used to power the dethreading of a supramolecular machine in the form of a pseudorotaxane composed of a thread (red) and a cyclophane (blue).
