Figure 1: Description of the upconversion nanocrystals. The ease of manufacture of these nanocrystals and their suitability for solution processing, as well as the demonstrated compatibility of ...

The Luminescence 96 sets a new standard for luminometers, equipped with 96 sensitive silicon photomultipliers. Its compact, modern design and competitive pricing make Luminescence-based assays more ...

Take oxygen, for example: Oxygen is a key molecule for life, and in order to understand ecosystem dynamics it can be important to follow its ways in much detail. Optical sensors that use luminescent ...

A luminescence reaction modeled on fireflies can detect contamination with organophosphates with high sensitivity, ease, and low cost. At the center of this technology is a new enzymatic method for ...

Luminescence is the emission of light produced by means other than heat. Bioluminescence is just one of the many forms of luminescence. Often, these types of luminescence are mistakenly grouped ...

We perform luminescence dating for archaeologists and geologists mainly following the so-called Single Aliquot Regeneration (SAR) protocol. Light tells the time Electrically charged particles released ...
