• Microparticles with feeling
  

  An international research team headed by the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Aarhus University and the Science for Life Lab in Uppsala has developed tiny particles that measure the oxygen concentration in their surroundings. In this way, they can track fluid flow and oxygen c more

• Record-breaking and readily available – aluminium complex with very strong fluorescence discovered
  

  Chemists at the University of Jena, Germany have set a new record, having discovered a fluorescent aluminium complex with the highest quantum yield known to date. For virtually every photon absorbed by the substance, a photon is emitted. This could be of benefit in applications such as LED technolog more

• Changes in colour indicate deformations
  

  ETH Zurich researchers have developed a new type of laminate that changes colour as soon as the material is deformed. This way, the materials researchers can kill two birds with one stone: a lightweight composite material that inspects itself. Lightweight construction has found its way into many are more

The Chemistry of Turmeric

If you’ve ever made a curry, you’ve likely used turmeric – you may even have some in your kitchen right now. It’s probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think about doing chemistry, but there are actually some pretty neat chemistry tricks you can do with it! In this post, we take a more

• One-pot synthesis of highly fluorescent Fe2+-doped carbon dots for dual-emissive nanohybrid to detection of zinc ions and histidine

  Metal ions-doping is paid a little attention comparing with the nonmetallic-element doping to improve the fluorescence intensity of carbon dots (CDs). Herein, Fe2+-doped CDs was facilely synthesized at 80 °C instead of hydrothermal method for the first time. Fe2+ was confirmed to be the only definit more

• A benzimidazole-based highly selective colorimetric and far-red fluorometric pH sensor for intracellular imaging

  A turn-on fluorescent probe (E)-4-(2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)vinyl)-N,N-diphenylaniline (BVD) was facilely synthesized via the ethylene bridging of triphenylamine and benzimidazole. The probe exhibited strong emission enhancement in the vis-NIR fluorescence region at 605 nm with pKa 4.14 and linea more

• Impact of kilobar pressures on ultrafast triazene and thiacyanine photodynamics

  Very short fluorescence lifetimes evidence ultrafast deactivation of photoexcited molecules. To unveil the underlying mechanism for two compounds exhibiting (sub)picosecond emission dynamics, we combine femtosecond fluorescence upconversion with high-pressure liquid-phase spectroscopy. For the triaz more
