Deep below the Earth's surface, rock and mineral formations lay hidden with a secret brilliance. Under a black light, the chemicals fossilized within shine in brilliant hues of pink, blue and green.

Fluorescent molecules that absorb and emit light in the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) regions have significant potential for various applications. These molecules can serve as ...

Fluorescence is typically associated with gases or liquids, but a team of chemists has conjured a new formula that gives solid materials that characteristic fluorescent glow. New research published ...

While there is an astounding variety of physical differences in wildlife that humans can easily observe, new research from Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences reveals that there is likely ...

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 ...
