Singlemolecule

SummaryProbing single molecules in their nanoenvironment can reveal site-specific phenomena that would be obscured by ensemble-averaging experiments on macroscopic populations of molecules. Particularly in the past decade, major…

Triplet-state lifetime quenched by oxygenLittle is known about the atomistic mechanism that nature uses to mitigate the destructive interaction of triplet-excited pigment chromophores with omnipresent oxygen. Peng et al. tackled this…

Single-molecule nanospectroscopyMicroscopic understanding and molecular-level control of individual electronic quantum states of a single molecule are a long-standing challenge in spectroscopy. Imada et al. found that a narrow-line tunable…
