This week Reactions is exploring the science behind fluorescence. There's a lot of chemistry behind what makes a fluorescent color stand out so brightly from the rest. Today we're digging into what makes them pop, and we're going highlight some of the brilliant applications of fluorescence coming out of nanotechnology.
