TL;DR: A convenient way to imprint robust invisible patterns in colloidal crystals of hollow silica spheres is presented, evaluated by thermodynamic predictions and subsequently verified by exposure to various vapors with different surface tension.

TL;DR: A family of MOFs in which one sub-lattice is fully occupied and the occupancy level of the other can be controlled during synthesis to produce frameworks with variable levels of partial interpenetration is reported.

TL;DR: A series of chromophores with enhanced second- and third-order nonlinear optical properties were engineered for use in combined second-harmonic and two-photon fluorescence microscopy and resulted in high selectivity for mitochondria or the nucleus in two- phytochemical fluorescence.

TL;DR: In this article, second and third-harmonic generation and multiphoton fluorescence of two thiolate-protected gold clusters were observed at a fundamental wavelength of 800 nm.

TL;DR: In this article, a combined UV-visible, cyclic voltammetric theoretical and hyper-Rayleigh scattering study has been carried out on a new series of ferrocenyl chromophores (2a-2d and 7-11) to develop a structure-property relationship, by varying the acceptor strength and the conjugation path length between the donor and the acceptedor and by disubstitution of the ferrocene moiety.
