A team from the Moore, Campos, and Kulik labs developed a novel mechanochemical uncaging strategy to unveil aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) with diverse emission characteristics using engineered norborn-2-en-7-one (NEO) mechanophores. The result provides a highly tunable reporter that traces progress with continuous color evolution. This advancement paves the way for future applications of mechanoresponsive materials in areas like damage detection and bioimaging.
