Take oxygen, for example: Oxygen is a key molecule for life, and in order to understand ecosystem dynamics it can be important to follow its ways in much detail. Optical sensors that use luminescent ...

Luminescence is the emission of light produced by means other than heat. Bioluminescence is just one of the many forms of luminescence. Often, these types of luminescence are mistakenly grouped ...

Luminescence reagents and assays are often used in drug discovery and research, but over the last decade their use has increased considerably owing to the high specificity of assays, ease of use, and ...

A research team has developed an adaptable three-dimensional (3D) display panel using circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) devices. Their research is published in Science Advances, and was led by ...

Chinese scientists have recently developed a facile photochemical route for the preparation of gold nanoparticles with excellent luminescence properties. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are noble metal ...

Glasses are regarded as promising luminescent materials due to their distinct superiorities of physicochemical stability, cost-effectiveness and convenient preparation. However, developing ...

The Sheffield Luminescence Dating Facility specialises in the measurement of quartz and feldspar-rich sands from sedimentary sequences, which can be absolutely dated within a range of 10 to 300,000+ ...
