It's likely you've already chewed and swallowed some tasty morsel today. But when did that ability emerge? New evidence ...

Fluorescent defects in atomically thin hexagonal boron nitride can detect and identify individual ions in liquids through spectral shifts, enabling real-time single-ion sensing relevant to batteries ...

Fluorescence spectroscopy is the measurement of the fluorescence response of an excited sample.

For decades, measuring the antioxidant power of a food, drug, or cosmetic has meant the same thing: mixing a sample with a ...

Characterizing the RNA and ligands in nanoparticle-based therapeutics has, historically, been a cumbersome process. The lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that encase RNA and payloads are cloudy by nature, ...

A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful shapes. Using a new approach to fluorescence microscopy, Hoi Sung Chung and ...

People who get scared off by technical terms miss a lot of neat stuff. For example, the phrase “analytical reference standards for fluorescence spectroscopy” might not leap off the page, but the ...

Abstract: In this letter, a method of mixed contaminants identification based on 3D fluorescent spectroscopy with a novel generative model is proposed. To comprehensively characterize the 3D ...

Plastic pollution poses critical global challenges, driving urgent needs to transition from linear models to circular plastic economies. A significant challenge in plastic recycling lies in the ...
