[00:00:00]Chemists used blue light to fold molecules into a tiny house shape.

[00:00:05]They're called houseanes. Ring molecules with extreme internal strain.

[00:00:10]That strain is what makes drugs like penicillin work.

[00:00:14]Münster scientists used a photocatalyst to push the reaction uphill.

[00:00:19]Energy from light replacing brute force heat.

[00:00:22]A cleaner path to the next generation of medicines.
