Molecular connection between electrodes has been challenging the world since the concept of molecular electronics emergence in 1950s, and practical devices have remained elusive. Guo et al. made the breakthrough by covalently bonding a diarylethene molecule to graphene electrodes and achieved stable photoswitching at room temperature.
