A synergistic strategy to improve dyes for nanoscopy
The quality and application of super-resolution fluorescence imaging greatly lie in the dyes’ properties, including photostability, brightness, and Stokes shift. Here we report a synergistic strategy to simultaneously improve such properties of regular fluorophores for nanoscopy.
Synthesis of fluorescent organic nano-dots and their application as efficient color conversion layers
Color conversion layers (CCLs) are essential components of numerous contemporary display and lighting technologies. Organic nanomaterials are capable of very competitive performance in this context. We present a new approach to develop CCLs in light-emitting diodes using organic "nano-dots".
Cryo-EM Structure of Lipopolysaccharide Transporter LptDE Opens the Door to Antibiotics Design
Bacteria display very different biochemistry from human cells, which can be exploited for designing new antibiotics with less side-effects. Detailed insights into the architecture and function of LptDE transporter complexes has been made possible by new Cryo-EM structures.
