This method uses fluorescence to analyze the samples. In fluorescence, the fluorophore absorbs light of a certain wavelength, which then excites the electron, which moves from ground state to a high ...

A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University have engineered a fluorescent dye that keeps glowing even when submerged in superacidic ...

Cancer is a universal issue which affects many people around the world. Many will turn to surgery in the hope a surgeon will be able to completely remove a tumor, leaving healthy tissues unaffected.

RIKEN researchers have demonstrated a method that can detect tiny amounts of biomarkers in liquid samples and can distinguish ...

The phenomenon of fluorescence is a form of luminescence, and it is exploited by techniques that have innovated ways to utilize its light emittance to gain insights into target materials or substances ...

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 ...

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful tool that is used to identify the presence of both inorganic and organic molecules in complex systems. This can be achieved in one of two ways: either utilizing ...

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 ...

Spectacular fluorescence has been spotted in 27 species that we didn't previously know were capable of glowing in the dark. The discoveries were made during a three-year study in the Red Sea in Egypt ...
