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 ...

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 ...

MIT chemists have made a breakthrough in fluorescent molecule design, creating a new dye based on the borenium ion that may significantly improve biomedical imaging with clearer tumor visualization, ...

September 16, 2025 -- The water around the Pier is among the most polluted on the West Coast, and on Monday it turned pink. The change had nothing to do with increased bacteria, but the pink dye could ...

In collaboration with The Bay Foundation, UCLA scientists are dyeing the water near the Santa Monica pier pink today. The pink non-toxic dye will be released by the researchers in the coming weeks to ...

A preclinical evaluation of a new "dual-mode" tracer agent shows promise in not only helping surgeons image and plan prostate cancer procedures, but also provide them with much more consistent and ...
