A team of researchers at the Departments of Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry of the University of Malaga and The Biomimetic Dendrimers and Photonic Laboratory of the research institute IBIMA ...
Scientists have long used fluorescent dyes—which emit light—to research cell structures and activities. By attaching fluorescent molecules to a protein, for example, scientists can take images of it ...
A new method allows scientists to label and image many different molecules at once within a living cell. The technique relies on 'switchable fluorophores' -- fluorescent proteins that turn on and off ...
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 ...
Current techniques for imaging cells are limited to investigating a handful of different molecule types within a cell at one time. But being able to better measure molecular signals, and how cells ...
What is Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS)? Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a powerful analytical technique that enables the study of dynamic processes and interactions at the ...
Researchers at Kyoto University, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), and Photron Limited in Japan have developed the world's fastest camera capable of detecting ...
Piezofluorochromism, the phenomenon of materials reversibly changing their fluorescent color when pressure is applied, is used to create the pressure sensors used in automotive and medical industries.
