Recently, a research team led by Professor Jiang Changlong at Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a new donor-acceptor (D-A) type fluorescent dye ...

"These materials have potential applications in any technology that needs bright fluorescence or calls for designing optical properties, including solar energy harvesting, bioimaging, and lasers," ...

A research team has successfully synthesized a new class of helical quinolizinium salts exhibiting exceptionally strong ...

Such existing devices, however, have serious limitations, which created the need for a new generation of sensor materials. The new fluorescent film, made from nanofibrils, overcomes those ...

Fluorescence is typically associated with gases or liquids, but a team of chemists has conjured a new formula that gives solid materials that characteristic fluorescent glow. New research published ...

Using a strategy that should be applicable to many fluorescent dyes, chemists have created the brightest-ever fluorescent materials. The approach combines commonly available cationic dyes and a ...

1. A research team at NIMS has successfully developed an environmentally friendly, microspherical fluorescent material primarily made from citric acid. These microbeads emit various colors of light ...

University of Utah researchers have developed a material that addresses an urgent environmental challenges: the efficient removal and real-time detection of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a toxic and ...

Fibre from a semiconducting polymer, developed for solar cells, is an excellent support material for the growth of new human tissue. Researchers at Linköping University have shown that the fibre glows ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A silk hybrid material attacks bacteria when illuminated by a green light, thanks to a far-red fluorescent protein researchers transferred to its genetic makeup. The all-natural ...
