The new photocrystallography.
Shine your light: Recent work in photocrystallography demonstrates a large photoinduced increase in the magnetic susceptibility of a solid, which is accompanied by significant changes in the bond lengths of the Nd-NC-Fe moiety (see picture; black are ground-state bond lengths in A, red are photoinduced bond lengths).
