Rhodamine dyes are excellent scaffolds for developing a broad range of fluorescent probes.
A key property of rhodamines is their equilibrium between a colorless lactone and …

Single-molecule localization microscopy is used to construct super-resolution images, but
generally requires prior intense laser irradiation and in some cases additives, such as thiols …

The unique topological features of Piezo proteins underlie the lever-like cellular
mechanotransduction mechanism. This knowledge inspires us to seek topological/geometric …

Decoding cellular processes requires visualization of the spatial distribution and dynamic
interactions of biomolecules. It is therefore not surprising that innovations in imaging …

Small molecule fluorophores are essential tools for chemical biology. A benefit of synthetic
dyes is the ability to employ chemical approaches to control the properties and direct the …

Photochromic molecules are widely applied in chemistry, physics, biology, and materials
science. Although a few photochromic systems have been developed before, their …

A new strategy to achieve easily scalable triple stimuli-responsive elastomeric opal films for
applications as stretch-tunable photonic band gap materials is reported. Novel …
