Our discovery of the world's brightest fluorescent materials has hit the press & captured cover at Chem

CellPress Magazine CoverExample of SMILES in Graphical Format

 

This work was the result of many years of effort and collaboration with a dedicated group of chemists including co-inventor, Bo W. Laursen (University of Copenhagen), Krishnan Raghavachari (IU) and Yoan Simon (University of Southern Mississippi)

And with it came a lot of press and interest that sparked the popular imagination...
