A new photostable fluorescent dye for super resolution microscopy could serve as a powerful tool to visualize biological events and structural details in living cells at real-time for prolonged ...

A team of researchers at IOCB Prague headed by Dr. Tomáš Slanina has developed a new method for labeling molecules with fluorescent dyes that surpasses existing approaches in both precision and ...

Fluorescent dyes are molecules that are widely used in fundamental research, industrial R&D and manufacturing, medicine, and other industries. To successfully implement all advantages of usage of ...

“The rapidly increasing use of digital technologies requires the rethinking of methods to store data. This work shows that digital data can be stored in mixtures of fluorescent dye molecules, which ...

MIT chemists have designed a new type of fluorescent molecule that they hope could be used for applications such as generating clearer images of tumors. The new dye is based on a borenium ion—a ...

When it comes to designing ultrabright solid-state fluorescent materials, bridged crystal designs might be the key to enabling monomeric emission and accessing novel crystalline systems, reveals a new ...

Redox-active triphenylamine-appended pyrazinacenes show extreme reversible redox-coupled switching of their photophysical properties. In their reduced state, absorption and emission bands fall well ...

Fluorophores are chemical compounds or molecules that absorb light energy at one wavelength and re-emit it as light at a longer, lower-energy wavelength, acting as glowing tags or markers. The ...

Fluorescent markers are extremely useful in science as tools to track molecules or processes as they carry out their unique activities, revealing unknown facts along the way. However, physically ...

Fluorescence quenching is a critical process in photophysical and photochemical studies, describing the reduction in a fluorophore’s emission intensity due to interaction with a quencher. In systems ...

MIT chemists have created a fluorescent, boron-containing molecule that is stable when exposed to air and can emit light in the red and near-infrared range. The dye can be made into crystals (shown in ...
