Fluorescent molecules to illuminate life: simplified synthesis with formaldehyde

Fluorescent molecules to illuminate life: simplified synthesis with formaldehyde

A research team led by Professor Young-Tae Chang from the Department of Chemistry at POSTECH and Dr. Sun Hyeok Lee from the Basic Science Research Institute of POSTECH has recently made a breakthrough in synthesizing organic fluorophores more cost-effectively and atom-efficiently than ever before by using formaldehyde, the simplest carbon molecule. Their findings were published … Read more
