	abstract = {<p>MicroED reveals insights into mechanochromic luminescence in copper nanoclusters, demonstrating structural transitions from crystalline to amorphous state upon grinding, with restoration of crystallinity following solvent exposure. Luminescence switching occurs due to reversible amorphization-recrystallization rather than chemical changes, providing critical design principles for such stimuli-responsive materials.</p>},
