Gene expression studies can monitor biological processes using a “molecular beacon” (single-stranded DNA, ssDNA), a ...

Duetta is a highly sensitive spectrofluorometer that can be used to measure transferrin at very low concentrations. By ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

Computational fluorescence microscopy (CFM) requires accurate point spread function (PSF) characterization for high-quality imaging. We propose a sample prior–based PSF decoupling method, where ...

Fluorescent anatomy, which recently seemed to be a quirk in unusual animals such as platypuses and opossums, was found in most living families of mammals. By Cara Giaimo At first, it seemed to be ...

Mammals have been discovered to have a secret superpower: nearly all species glow in the dark. Before now, it was thought that only Australian marsupials such as platypuses, wombats, Tasmanian devils ...

When conducting fluorescence imaging in various medical applications, practitioners typically use a powdered dye known as Indocyanine Green (ICG). ICG emits fluorescence between 750 and 950 nanometers ...

In the early 1960s, Mack Fulwyler joined the lab of Marvin Van Dilla at the Los Alamos National Laboratory as an engineer to study the effect of fallout radiation from nuclear weapons testing on ...

A novel approach to pressure sensor design is unveiled, focusing on molecular stacking in crystals to achieve significant fluorescence changes under pressure.
