Next-generation banknotes and passports could benefit from a novel approach to fine-tuning the color of fluorescent polymers, which could also advance microscopy and imaging techniques used in cell ...

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 ...

Electron and phonon are two fundamental particles (quasi-particles) of condensed matter and their interplay in single crystals can create many interesting physical phenomena, such as polariton, charge ...

Flow cytometry is a technique that analyses thousands of cells rapidly, with the data processed by a computer. Samples of cells contained in a fluid medium that has been labeled with fluorescent ...

The copper target was operated at voltages of 11 kV, 12 kV, 13 kV, and 14 kV for the electron source, and a 50 kV configuration using a molybdenum target was used as a representative example for the ...

Multicolored emissions could allow storage of more than one bit of information per data point. What began accidentally could be the foundation for a revolutionary approach to optical data storage. By ...

The Active Particle-induced X-ray Spectrometer (APXS), carried by the Yutu rover of the Chang’e-3 satellite got its first X-ray fluorescence spectrum of lunar regolith around the landing site on ...
