Fluorophores, a chemical compound that can emit light, can be used as fluorescent labels for bioimaging, and fluorescent probes to detect a wide range of chemical species and physical parameters.

RhoBAST is a tiny RNA molecule that activates fluorescent dyes, enabling researchers to track RNA molecules in living cells with super-resolution. An international collaboration, which includes Ronald ...

Quantum chemical calculations show that the historic natural dye alizarin combines vivid orange-red color, structural stability, and a favorable predicted safety profile, making it a promising ...

Biobased intermediates are reshaping dye chemistry by replacing fossil-derived feedstocks with renewable carbon from biomass and fermentation. By addressing emissions, toxicity and resource intensity ...

After more than a decade of developing fluorescent probes, a research team has now released the culmination of their years of work: A comprehensive collection of rhodamine-based dyes, the novel ...

Low-temperature reactive dyeing at 40–50°C enables strong cellulose fixation using advanced dye chemistry. It lowers energy, water use and effluent while improving shade consistency and fastness.

According to The World Bank, 20-percent of the world’s water pollution problem can be traced back to the textiles industry, which cites over 8,000 different chemicals in its dyeing processes. Seeing ...
