Photochemical stability is one of the most important parameters that determine the
usefulness of organic dyes in different applications. This Review addresses key factors that …

Research on the luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) over the past thirty‐odd years is
reviewed. The LSC is a simple device at its heart, employing a polymeric or glass …

Information is created, processed, transported, and detected using electrons, photons,
phonons, or plasmons. Of these basic components of information technology, utilization of …

Research on hybrid inorganic‐organic materials has experienced an explosive growth since
the 1980s, with the expansion of soft inorganic chemistry based processes. Indeed, mild …

Polymeric electro-optic materials have recently been developed that, when fabricated into
devices such as Mach-Zehnder interferometers, permit drive (V π) voltages of less than 1 V …

Pairs of Au nanoparticles have recently been proposed as “plasmon rulers” based on the
dependence of their light scattering on the interparticle distance. Preliminary work has …

Five novel perylene molecules with different intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) characters
have been synthesized. The relation between the ICT character for different donating groups …

Alternative messenger RNA (mRNA) splicing is a fundamental process of gene regulation,
and errors in RNA splicing are known to be associated with a variety of different diseases …

The use of plasmon coupling in metal nanoparticles has shown great potential for the optical
characterization of many biological processes. Recently, we have demonstrated the use of …

Detecting positive tumor margins and local malignant masses during surgery is critical for
long-term patient survival. The use of image-guided surgery for tumor removal, particularly …
