The fluorescence of organic molecules depends sensitively on their environment.
Fluorescent dyes have accordingly become popular molecular probes not only to determine …

Chiral assemblies of plasmonic nanoparticles are known for strong circular dichroism but not
for high optical asymmetry, which is limited by the unfavorable combination of electrical and …

Fluorogenic probes for bioimaging have become essential tools for life science and
medicine, and the key to their development is a precise understanding of the mechanisms …

Formation of amyloid fibrils underlies a wide range of human disorders, including
Alzheimer's and prion diseases. The amyloid fibrils can be readily detected thanks to …

Imaging amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation is critical for understanding the pathology and aiding
the pre-symptomatic intervention of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Amyloid aggregation consists …

The emission process of the o‐carborane dyad with anthracene originating from the twisted
intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state in the crystalline state is described. The …

Intense efforts to detect, diagnose, and analyze the kinetic and structural properties of
amyloid fibrils have generated a powerful toolkit of amyloid-specific molecular probes. Since …

The quest for a G-quadruplex specific fluorescent sensor among other DNA forms under
physiological salt conditions has been addressed in this article. We demonstrate for the first …

Fluorescent molecular rotors (FMRs) can act as viscosity sensors in various media including
subcellular organelles and microfluidic channels. In FMRs, the rotation of rotators connected …
