Fluorescence imaging is a powerful approach for noninvasive and real-time visualization
and tracking of biomolecules and biological processes in living systems. The fluorescent …

Adverse influences of mercury on living organisms are well known. Despite efforts from
various regulatory agencies, the build-up of Hg2+ concentration in the environment is of …

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) strategy has been widely applied in
designing ratiometric probes for bioimaging applications. Unfortunately, for FRET systems …

Recent time has witnessed unprecedented activity in the colorimetric sensing because of its
