Fluorescent imaging allows scientists to observe the parasite Toxoplasma gondii in far greater detail, revealing how it ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...

Multiphoton microscopy is used in biomedical research to study cells and tissues. Today, so-called two-photon microscopy is used to study processes within cells, but the technique has limitations in ...

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic fragments with sizes ranging from millimeters (<5 mm) to nanometers, have become a growing environmental and public health concern. First identified in the ...

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 ...

Chemists have developed a tool for noninvasive brain imaging that can help illuminate hard-to-access structures and processes. Their small-molecule dye is the first of its kind that can cross the ...

It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
