Compared with AIE-active small molecules, polymer materials possess ... potency in some widely investigated applications, such as fluorescent chemosensors. A few reviews have summarized the ...

Now, researchers in ACS Central Science have identified two coumarin molecules that could be responsible. These natural coumarins have unique fluorescent properties ... isomers with dramatically ...

Moisture environments induce the swelling of the polymer fibers, activating intramolecular motions of AIE molecules to result in red-shifted fluorescence and linear response to ambient relative ...

Technically, they are referred to as aggregation-induced emission dots (AIE dots) as they become photostable and highly efficient fluorescent emitters when their component molecules aggregate.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE), a promising technique with ... Individually, these molecules are non-fluorescent, because their photo-excited states decay to the ground state through non ...

Fluorescent materials play an important role ... science is constantly striving to produce new and easily accessible molecules with high fluorescence efficiency. Chemist Professor Evamarie Hey ...

An article in The New York Times about an emerging class of small, nonmetal compounds with applications that range from improving optoelectronic devices like organic light-emitting diode televisions ...
