DNA nanotechnology has now enabled the self-assembly of almost any prescribed 3-
dimensional nanoscale structure in large numbers and with high fidelity. These structures …

The predictable nature of DNA interactions enables the programmable assembly of highly
advanced 2D and 3D DNA structures of nanoscale dimensions. The access to ever larger …

Single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) is one of the most
general and adaptable single-molecule techniques. Despite the explosive growth in the …

With the introduction of π-conjugated systems in electronic devices and the dream to arrive
at molecular electronics based on these systems, the detailed understanding of the …

This Review summarizes the latest advances in the field of rylene dyes and rylene
nanoemitters for applications in photonics, and describes the influence of the dye design on …

We introduce a pattern-matching technique for efficient identification of fluorophore ratios in
complex multidimensional fluorescence signals using reference fluorescence decay and …

We are learning to build synthetic molecular machinery from DNA. This research is inspired
by biological systems in which individual molecules act, singly and in concert, as specialized …

Single-molecule measurements provide unique information on heterogeneous populations
of molecules: They give access to the complete distribution of observables (rather than only …

1. INTRODUCTION: GOALS OF MULTICHROMOPHORE STUDIES Multichromophoric
systems have gained intense interest in recent decades. 1 The arraying of chromophores at …

We demonstrate that commercially available unmodified carbocyanine dyes such as Cy5
(usually excited at 633 nm) can be used as efficient reversible single-molecule optical …
