Even though the transition to LED lighting is well under way, there are lots of TV stations that still depend on studio fluorescent lights. I know this, in part, because I helped put them up with ...

In this Perspective the authors discuss strategies for the development of improved fluorescent proteins, with a focus on probes at the red end of the spectrum. They synthesize the literature on ...

Vermont stores will be prohibited from selling all types of general use fluorescent lights starting in the new year. A 2022 law banning the sale of 4-foot linear fluorescent bulbs goes into effect on ...

In some people that are photosensitive, UV light from sunlight and indoor light sources can trigger a lupus flare. In addition to sunlight, ultraviolet rays are also given off by several different ...

It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

Thanks to a recent study by researchers at IOCB Prague, it is now possible to monitor processes in living cells more effectively than before, including responses to drugs and changes in cellular ...

After the discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in 1961, fluorescent proteins have been fused to various proteins and enzymes in order to visualize them. Fluorescent proteins ushered a new era ...

A fluorescent light headache is a type of headache triggered by fluorescent lights. This may also be a symptom of photophobia, a condition that describes sensitivity to light. Fluorescent lights are ...

Cyan fluorescent protein variants 1 derived from Aequorea victoria GFP are widely applied for localization and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based interaction studies 2,3. Cerulean and ...

Fluorescent anatomy, which recently seemed to be a quirk in unusual animals such as platypuses and opossums, was found in most living families of mammals. By Cara Giaimo At first, it seemed to be ...
