`Glowing` technique could detect river pollution
New technology used to analyse dissolved organic matter in river water could also help scientists detect and monitor pollution, according to a new research published in the journal Hydrological Processes (1). Dissolved organic matter is found in all river water, and can come from both a natural source such as the soil, as well as human sources... view more... (2002-10-07)
Fluorescent glass SRMs are new tool for spectroscopy
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed two new calibration tools to help correct and validate the performance of analytic instruments that identify substances based on fluorescence. view more (2007-06-11)

A potential therapeutic strategy for hepatic failure
Fulminant hepatic failure is a serious clinical disease and may threaten the life of patients. However, because of the damage of mass liver cells, the organ function is often irreversible due to the liver cell degeneration, swelling, or apoptosis. Thus, to supply new sources of functional liver cells is a valuable choice for these patients. view more (2009-03-31)
Breakthrough made in assessing marine phytoplankton health
Researchers from Oregon State University, NASA and other organizations said today that they have succeeded for the first time in measuring the physiology of marine phytoplankton through satellite measurements of its fluorescence - an accomplishment that had been elusive for years. view more (2009-05-29)
Scripps Scientists Discover Fluorescence in Key Marine Creature
Fluorescent proteins found in nature have been employed in a variety of scientific research purposes, from markers for tracing molecules in biomedicine to probes for testing environmental quality. Until now, such proteins have been identified mostly in jellyfish and corals, leading to the belief that the capacity for fluorescence in animals is... view more... (2007-10-31)
