IN 1934, the author of this new volume of a well-known series published his “Luminescence des corps solides”, a book in its day of some value to those seriously interested in the subject. On hearing ...

From anti-counterfeiting inks to bioimaging agents, phosphorescent materials that glow after light exposure are critical for security and sensing applications. However, most current systems rely on ...

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A strobe light and a giant phosphorescent screen offer endless posing possibilities in the popular Exploratorium exhibit, "Shadow Box." Inside the Shadow Box, visitors can ...

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 dyes have long been used to ...

Optical Building Blocks is pleased to introduce the all new Quattro luminescence spectrometer. The Quattro is a new luminescence spectrometer that measures steady state fluorescence spectra, ...

Screens for TVs, smartphones or other displays could be made with a new kind of organic LED material developed by an ...

Plasmon-enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy is a useful tool for imaging cells and other samples on a single-molecule level. This method poses several advantages over conventional fluorescence ...

Although the fluorescence timescale is suitable for monitoring numerous biological processes, certain processes often require monitoring over extended durations. To access intrinsic amino acids, such ...

The scintillation behavior of organic molecules under X-ray irradiation was discovered on anthracene crystals as early as 1947, long before the discovery of organic electronics. In recent years, ...
