Abstract
Light energy provides an attractive fuel source for energy dissipating systems because of the lack of waste production, wavelength tunability and the potential for spatial and temporal resolution. In this work, we describe a peptide-spiropyran conjugate that assembled into a transient nanofiber hydrogel in the presence of visible light, and dissociated when the light source was removed.
