Light is of essential importance to the universe and humankind. Light has been, and
continues to be, one of the most fundamental and indispensable elements to life and society …

The understanding of biological systems at the molecular scale is increasingly reliant on the
capability of tracking miscellaneous biomolecules and their events with improved spatial …

Carbon dots (CDs) usually emit a strong blue light and excitation wavelength dependent
long wavelength lights. This significantly limits their applications because one has to use a …

Luminogenic materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attributes have attracted
much interest since the debut of the AIE concept in 2001. In this critical review, recent …

Sugars are abundant natural sources existing in biological systems, and bioactive
saccharides have attracted much more attention in the field of biochemistry and …

Semiconducting quantum dots, whose particle sizes are in the nanometer range, have very
unusual properties. The quantum dots have band gaps that depend in a complicated fashion …

The conundrum of modality selection in clinical diagnostic imaging is that modalities with the
highest sensitivity have relatively poor resolution, while those with high resolution have …

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are tiny light-emitting particles on the nanometer scale,
and are emerging as a new class of fluorescent labels for biology and medicine. In …

Fluorescence imaging (FLI), a non‐invasive, real‐time, and highly sensitive imaging
modality, allows for investigating the molecular/cellular level activities to understand …

The discovery of the striking aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon has opened
a new avenue for smart light-emitting materials. Herein, a new AIE luminogen (AIEgen), 1, 1 …
