Over the last decade, two fields have dominated the attention of sub-diffraction photonics research: Plasmonics and fluorescence nanoscopy. Nanoscopy based on single-molecule localization offers a practical way to explor...

Optical imaging and single-molecule imaging, in particular, utilize fluorescent tags in order to differentiate observed species by color. The degree of color multiplexing is dependent on the available spectral detection ...

The conversion of solar radiation to chemical energy in plants and green algae takes place in the thylakoid membrane. This amphiphilic environment hosts a complex arrangement of light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes...

Abstract The determination of the orientations of the individual DyIII anisotropy axes in polynuclear complexes is challenging but crucial for the understanding of systems showing Single Molecule Magnet or Single Molecul...

Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) are of global concern for their ubiquitous presence in the environment. However, precise quantification of PFCAs remains challenging due to the shortage of stand...

ABSTRACT This work reports an interesting phosphorescent resonance energy transfer (PRET) system with a large Stokes shift (320 nm) and near‐infrared (NIR) delayed fluorescence emission for high‐performance bioimagi...

Abstract Helicenes, composed of ortho-fused benzene rings, possess a spring-like π-backbone, enabling electron delocalization through both bonds and space. Theoretical predictions suggest that mechanical stretching or c...

Accelerated molecular dynamics and quantum conductance calculations are employed to shed light onto the electrochemical properties of the Au|1,8-octanedithiol|Au junction. Widely different contact geometries with varying...
