The aim of this inaugural ISDP is to provide a single focus to bring together researchers from across the scientific disciplines which create and utilise chromophores and fluorophores, to promote communication across these different disciplines and to provide a platform for the presentation of cutting edge work.
Using a specially textured, gas-attracting material, researchers have greatly boosted the performance of catalytical systems for capturing carbon dioxide.
By formulating fluorescent dyes into a novel class of crystalline lattice, researchers have created the brightest ever fluorescent materials.
