Abstract :
Understanding molecular scale phenomena is a critical component of many scientific disciplines. The ability to retrieve nanoscale information from inside macroscale systems is particularly useful in biological fields where the diversity of molecular components and interaction dynamics within a cell make it difficult to monitor and quantify the underlying processes. Current methods rely on custom designed molecules-called molecular probes-that alter their observable properties to acquire real-time information about nanoscale phenomena.
