Research on nanothermometry continues (new paper from the team)
Prof. Ruslan Dmitriev and PhD candidate Angela Debruyne collaborated with TU Graz (Prof. S. Borisov) and University of Tubingen on the design of new type of the nanothermometer, based on organic Zr complexes and exhibiting long emission decay times. These materials open a new framework for microsecond-range emitting temperature-sensitive materials, providing better resolution and potential applications in imaging temperature gradients in multicellular spheroids, as we have demonstrated in the study. The research has been published in Advanced Optical Materials journal.
