"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," ...

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 ...

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

Researchers have successfully developed an environmentally friendly, microspherical fluorescent material primarily made from citric acid. These microbeads emit various colors of light depending on the ...

The synthesis route of the donor–acceptor fluorescent dye AFL and the design idea and response mechanism of the AFL-based fluorescencesensor. Recently, a research team led by Professor JIANG Changlong ...

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 ...

The word fluorescent might bring to mind the harsh, overhead lighting of your high school at worst, or cool, glowing oceans at best, but these types of brightly glowing materials actually play an ...

Researchers in the US have devised a way to greatly improve the efficiency of fluorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). The luminous efficiency of an organic molecule depends on the way that ...

A new and reliable way of making fluorescent solids has led to the creation of the brightest-ever class of fluorescent materials. The 3D-printable materials could one day help solar panels harvest ...
