Since several years nanoparticles (NPs) are produced by industries and used in several fields of activities. They are finally found in aquatic and terrestrial environments, where they are ingested by living organisms in which they accumulate, before being eliminated. In organisms, NPs represent foreign elements with t…

An isothiocyanate-functionalized tetraphenylethene is synthesized and used as a fluorescent bioprobe for mitochondrion imaging with high specificity and photostability. The covalent conjugation of the bioprobe to mitochondrial proteins endows it with high resistance to microenvironmental changes, enabling it for real-…

We show that the van der Waals heterostructure formed by MoSe2 and WS2 provides a unique system with near degenerate interlayer and intralayer excitonic states. Photoluminescence measurements indicate that the charge transfer exciton states are approximately 50 meV below the MoSe2 exciton states, with a significant sp…

In quasi binary systems like AgBr–NaBr the demixing from the homogeneous high temperature phase into separated phases is a complex process that depends on the ageing temperature as well as on the quench rate. Spinodal decomposition and nucleation processes can be distinguished which lead, however, to the same final eq…
