A team at Tokyo Metropolitan University has shown through numerical simulations that an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer ...

A new single-protein analysis technique gives researchers an unprecedented ability to study proteins called scramblases, ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

The phenomenon of fluorescence is a form of luminescence, and it is exploited by techniques that have innovated ways to utilize its light emittance to gain insights into target materials or substances ...

Fluorescence force microscopy is a combination of atomic force microscopy and fluorescence microscopy, which allows molecular dynamics to be studied. The technique can be applied to single molecules, ...

A team of US researchers has gained new insights into how large protein molecules consistently fold themselves into useful shapes. Using a new approach to fluorescence microscopy, Hoi Sung Chung and ...

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful tool that is used to identify the presence of both inorganic and organic molecules in complex systems. This can be achieved in one of two ways: either utilizing ...

Shining a beam of light into potentially contaminated water samples may hold the key to real-time detection of hydrocarbons and pesticides in water. Researchers are testing the use of fluorescence to ...
