Figure 1: Description of the upconversion nanocrystals. The ease of manufacture of these nanocrystals and their suitability for solution processing, as well as the demonstrated compatibility of ...

Take oxygen, for example: Oxygen is a key molecule for life, and in order to understand ecosystem dynamics it can be important to follow its ways in much detail. Optical sensors that use luminescent ...

Autofluorescence-Free “Turn-On” Luminescence Strategy for H₂O₂ Detection. This schematic illustrates the design of the PLNPs@MnO₂ probe, in which the persistent luminescence of ZnGa₂O₄:Cr ...

Many tropical mushroom species glow in the dark. When scientists discovered the mechanism of luminescence, they found similarity to healthy plant metabolism. New research reveals plants might possess ...

An international collaboration involving researchers from the University of Innsbruck has developed a novel luminescent ...

Luminescence reagents and assays are often used in drug discovery and research, but over the last decade their use has increased considerably owing to the high specificity of assays, ease of use, and ...

Luminescence is the emission of light produced by means other than heat. Bioluminescence is just one of the many forms of luminescence. Often, these types of luminescence are mistakenly grouped ...

Luminescence imaging has become a cornerstone of modern science, capable of revealing molecular and physiological processes invisible to the naked eye. Yet, implementing advanced illumination ...
