More fun with atoms

An animation demonstrates the switching process in the naphthalocyanine molecule. When a voltage pulse is induced into the molecule (here indicated by the red coloring), the two hydrogen atoms positioned in the center of the molecule change position and switch the molecule between "on" and "off". Apart from changing its electrical properties, the molecule does not change in shape or position.
