A new blue fluorescent molecule set new top emission efficiencies in both solid and liquid states, according to a University ...

Terahertz radiation (THz), electromagnetic radiation with frequencies ranging between 0.1 and 10 THz, could be leveraged to ...

Washington University researchers found that raising a molecule called ApoM helps eye cells sweep away harmful cholesterol ...

The ion channel PIEZO2 doesn't just convey touch stimuli. It also plays a key role in the development of coronary vessels, a ...

Biosensors Fluorescence Sensing Molecular interactions are commonly detected using fluorescence technologies. AuNPs can serve as excellent fluorescence quenchers through fluorescence resonance ...

We investigate through simulations the gold–C60–gold molecular junction as a novel single-molecule amperometric gas sensor. We find it promising for NO and NO2 detection in air and at room temperature ...

Multidrug-resistant pathogens represent one of the major medical challenges of the 21st century. What are the hopeful immunotherapies that could save the day?

Optical tweezers (or optical traps) are devices that use a laser to trap a nanometre-to-micrometre-sized dielectric object in place. Optical tweezers are used for performing single molecule force ...

One of the long-term goals of synthetic biology is to reliably engineer biological systems that perform human-defined functions such as sensing, monitoring, and processing. Molecular sensing via ...

Synthetic fluorophores built on a classic rhodamine scaffold are essential for modern microscopy. An attractive feature of synthetic fluorophores is their potential to access long-wavelength ...

Many biological processes, such as gene transcription and replication, involve opening and closing of short regions of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Few techniques, however, can study these processes ...
