NIMS, in collaboration with Nagoya University, Gifu University, and the University of Adelaide, has developed a method for simultaneously imaging DNA and RNA inside cells using harmless infrared to ...

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 ...

Researchers have created a safe, infrared-based method to image DNA and RNA simultaneously in living cells. The technique ...

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 ...

It was found that the onion-dye film performed best, blocking 99.9% of UV light with a wavelength of up to 400 nanometers. That said, it still allowed over 80% of visible light transmission at longer ...

Swapping out specific chemical building blocks in fluorescent molecules called rhodamines can generate nearly any color scientists desire - ROYGBIV and beyond, researchers report in the journal Nature ...

Mammals have been discovered to have a secret superpower: nearly all species glow in the dark. Before now, it was thought that only Australian marsupials such as platypuses, wombats, Tasmanian devils ...

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 ...

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 ...
