Radiation in the near-infrared region is invisible, but can deeply penetrate living tissue without damaging it. Dye molecules that produce near-infrared light consequently have valuable applications in medical diagnostics, and A*STAR researchers have developed a synthetic approach that can quickly identify ways to fine-tune their emission properties.
