Visible-light absorbing metal-free organic dyes are of increasing demand for various optoelectronic applications because of their great structure-function tunability through chemical means. Several dyes also show huge potential in triplet photosensitization, generating reactive singlet oxygen. Understanding the structure-property relationships of many well-known fluorescein dyes is of paramount importance in designing next-generation energy efficient dyes, which is currently limited.

A Lifetime of Catalytic Micro-/Nanomotors.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

School of Electronic and Information Engineering, University of Science and Technology Liaoning, Anshan 114051, China.

Microscopic and nanoscopic motors, often referred to as micro-/nanomotors, are autonomous devices capable of converting chemical energy from their surroundings into mechanical motion or forces necessary for propulsion. These devices draw inspiration from natural biomolecular motor proteins, and in recent years, synthetic micro-/nanomotors have attracted significant attention. Among these, catalytic micro-/nanomotors have emerged as a prominent area of research.

Optical tweezers in biomedical research - progress and techniques.

J Med Life

November 2024

Biophysics and Cellular Biotechnology Department, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania.

Optical tweezers, which leverage the forces exerted by radiation pressure, have emerged as a pivotal technique for precisely manipulating and analyzing microscopic particles. Since Arthur Ashkin's ground-breaking work in the 1970s and the subsequent development of the single-beam optical trap in 1986, the capabilities of optical tweezers have expanded significantly, enabling the intricate manipulation of biological specimens at the micro- and nanoscale. This review elucidates the foundational principles of optical trapping and their extensive applications in the biomedical sciences.
