Check out Björn's cool insights into near infrared signals from photosensitizers. It is correlated but does not origin from singlet oxygen. The signal is present in all samples we looked at (labeled vesicles, plants,...). @solvationsci.bsky.social @ruhr-uni-bochum.de tinyurl.com/5dvsrnde

Check out Jan's paper @acs.org Anal. Chem. We developed a simulation to quantify advantages of the near infrared and use the insights to create a diagnostic test/device for levodopa in blood serum for better Parkinson's treatment. @ruhr-uni-bochum.de @solvationsci.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2zvhtxcr

Juliana's workflow to 3D print carbon nanomaterials is now published online in CARBON Trends. Very cool to illustrate their properties, biosensing as well as teaching basic concepts in physics/chemistry. @solvationsci.bsky.social @ruhr-uni-bochum.de tinyurl.com/9fuxe5f2

Jan's work on a spectral phasor approach for very fast and simple hyperspectral imaging (HyperNIR) is online in Advanced Science. It is a beautiful and astonishing method for label-free imaging of different types of plastics and plant health as well as fluorescence signals. tinyurl.com/4epsba8e

Congrats to Alex. He shows in J. Phys. Chem. C how to incorporate two different types of quantum defects in fluorescent carbon nanotubes. It opens new dimensions to tailor photophysics and surface chemistry.

Great collaboration with the Borchardt group. It is possible to incorporate tiny numbers of quantum defects in
nanotubes using mechanochemistry and tune their fluorescence. Congrats Miriam and Justus. @solvationsci.bsky.social @ruhr-uni-bochum.de @angewandtechemie.bsky.social tinyurl.com/4dws5c7c

Congratulations to Chen. She shows in JPC C that solvatochromic dyes on carbon nanotubes modulate/improve their biosensing performance. For example for pH sensing or detection of lipids, which is often a challenge. @solvationsci.bsky.social @ruhr-uni-bochum.de tinyurl.com/3kyy3zu6
