Chemists have developed a tool for noninvasive brain imaging that can help illuminate hard-to-access structures and processes. Their small-molecule dye is the first of its kind that can cross the ...

The research was carried out by scientists at Indiana University and the University of Copenhagen, who set out to solve a 150-year-old problem involving fluorescent dyes. The problem is known as ...

Solar cells are subjected to a lot of harmful ultraviolet light, as they're typically placed for maximum sunlight exposure. A new eco-friendly coating could help protect them from those UV rays, and ...

A novel technology that utilizes light of different wavelengths to control cellular functions by inducing reversible assembly and disassembly of molecules has been developed. This breakthrough could ...

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 ...

When you hear the word ‘fluorescent,’ you might think of the colors you see in a psychedelic poster. When you shine a black light on the poster, its colors can seem literally to glow from within. That ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A prerequisite for many studies of neurons in culture is a means of determining their original identity. We needed such a technique to study ...

Temperature is a critical variable that influences countless biological processes at the cellular level. However, precisely ...
