Rotary molecular motors were first created in 1999, in the laboratory of Ben Feringa, Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Groningen. These motors are driven by light. For many reasons, ...

Elucidating the energetic processes which govern photosynthesis, the engine of life on earth, are an essential goal both for fundamental research and for cutting-edge biotechnological applications.

Combining nonlinear optical processes and photoswitching transcends the limitations of conventional and even standalone super-resolution imaging. While photoswitching enables resolution improvement, ...

Fluorescence assays are detection systems that utilize fluorophores—molecules that absorb light at a specific excitation wavelength and emit light at a longer emission wavelength—to identify, quantify ...

Conventional light microscopy has been instrumental for studying cells and microorganisms; fluorescence microscopy enabled visualization of even smaller cell features by selectively adding fluorescent ...

When conducting fluorescence imaging in various medical applications, practitioners typically use a powdered dye known as Indocyanine Green (ICG). ICG emits fluorescence between 750 and 950 nanometers ...
