Nature Communications, Published online: 21 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-73177-y Elucidating the structural evolution of photoinduced molecular aggregation in solution remains challenging. Zhu et al. employ persulfurated arenes as a model system to characterize this process, introducing an electrical approach for probing photoresponsive aggregation at the single-molecule level.
