Stress has been proved to acidulate amphoteric molecules and promote an intermolecular proton transfer, which results in a significant absorption and emission change. The stress acidulated amphoteric molecules open a new avenue for developing mechanochromic materials and anticipate many broad applications such as stress/pressure sensors and rewritable media.
