In this Review article, we systematically summarize the design and applications of various
kinds of long-lived emissive probes for bioimaging and biosensing via time-resolved …

Fluorescent gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) or nanodots (NDs) with sizes smaller than 3 nm are
a specific type of gold nanomaterials. In this review, Au NCs are used to represent …

The capture of transient scenes at high imaging speed has been long sought by
photographers,,,, with early examples being the well known recording in 1878 of a horse in …

Fluorescence microscopy provides an efficient and unique approach to study fixed and
living cells because of its versatility, specificity, and high sensitivity. Fluorescence …

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is a key fluorescence microscopy technique to map the
environment and interaction of fluorescent probes. It can report on photophysical events that …

Luminescent compounds obtained from the thermal reaction of citric acid and urea have
been studied and utilized in different applications in the past few years. The identified …

Background The root system of higher plants originates from the activity of a root meristem,
which comprises a group of highly specialized and long-lasting stem cells. Their …

We demonstrate the first use of smartphone spectrophotometry for readout of fluorescence-
based biological assays. We evaluated the smartphone fluorimeter in the context of a …

Integration of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors with nanophotonic
waveguides is a key technological step that enables a broad range of classical and quantum …

Biological systems are dynamical, constantly exchanging energy and matter with the
environment in order to maintain the non-equilibrium state synonymous with living …
