Scientists are coupling terbium nanoparticles with organic ligands that enhance the fluorescence and allow biomolecule labelling. They obtain fluorescent particles that are brighter than quantum dots while also having room for functionnalization. These next generation probes may find use both for in-vitro detection and fluorescence Imaging.

Photoinitiators are best when they react swiftly. For example when one want to cure a resin in dental applications , the shorter it takes the less disturbing it is for the patient.

Silyl glyoxylates: LED-optimized photoinitiators

Typically, photo-initiators are molecules which, upon UV irradiation, can trigger chemical reactions. Yet, this new class of photo-initiators can be activated by blue light instead . This makes them well suited for LED illumination.
