Fluorescent nucleobases are chemically modified DNA and RNA analogues that not only retain their chemical and biological functionalities, such as stacking, base pairing and enzyme incorporation, but ...

The research was carried out by scientists at Indiana University and the University of Copenhagen, who set out to solve a 150-year-old problem involving fluorescent dyes. The problem is known as ...

A team of researchers at the Departments of Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry of the University of Malaga and The Biomimetic Dendrimers and Photonic Laboratory of the research institute IBIMA ...

A fluorescent light headache is a type of headache triggered by fluorescent lights. This may also be a symptom of photophobia, a condition that describes sensitivity to light. Fluorescent lights are ...

Fluorescent nanobeads offer great potential for many applications in both basic and applied research. Recently, scientists have been offered a wide range of technical solutions in fluorescence imaging ...

Researchers propose building fluorescence directly into microplastic polymer structures, enabling stable real-time imaging of how particles move, accumulate, and degrade in biological systems.

While there is an astounding variety of physical differences in wildlife that humans can easily observe, new research from Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences reveals that there is likely ...

In 1976, Good Times ruled TV, Gerald Ford was trying to "whip inflation now," and in Ohio, a new kind of light bulb was being invented. The man behind the CFL looks back. Michael Kanellos is editor at ...
