Red Fluorescent Dyes Based on Borenium Ions Could Improve Clearer Biomedical Imaging
MIT Develops Stable Red-Emitting Dyes for Better Biomedical Imaging Scientists at MIT have designed a new class of fluorescent molecules based on positively charged boron atoms, known as borenium cations, that glow in the red to near-infrared range. By stabilizing these ions with specially chosen ligands, the team has created materials that emit bright light…

MIT Chemists Create Red Fluorescent Dyes to Sharpen Biomedical Imaging
New Red-Emitting Dyes Could Transform Biomedical Imaging Researchers at MIT have designed a new class of fluorescent molecules based on stabilized borenium ions that glow in the red to near-infrared range. These dyes aim to overcome long-standing challenges in optical imaging, where blue and green dyes often fall short for deep-tissue visualization. The study, published…
