Fluorophores are chemical compounds or molecules that absorb light energy at one wavelength and re-emit it as light at a longer, lower-energy wavelength, acting as glowing tags or markers. The ...

Unlike most organic fluorophores, which typically measure below 1 nm, nanomaterials range between 1 and 100 nm, allowing them to function as distinct entities with a loadable surface. The success of ...

Single benzene-based fluorophores with absorption wavelengths above 600 nm are ideal for bioimaging. Recently, scientists from Japan have developed bis-pseudoindoxyls, which exhibit red-region ...
