Sparking New Insights Into Dye Chemistry
The SUTD-led study leverages systematic design and molecular engineering to develop brighter, more sensitive fluorophores used in detection probes and imaging labels.
Fluorophores, a chemical compound that can emit light, can be used as fluorescent labels for bioimaging, and fluorescent probes to detect a wide range of chemical species and physical parameters.
During twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) – a photophysical process that occurs in many fluorophores – fluorescence gets extinguished. The donor and acceptor fragments of the fluorophore will twist to a nearly perpendicular conformation after photoexcitation, resulting in complete charge separation while transforming into a dark state.

Using Quantum Parrondo’s Random Walks for Encryption
Assistant Professor Kang Hao Cheong and his research team from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) have set out to apply concepts from quantum Parrondo’s paradox in search of a working protocol for semiclassical encryption. In a recent Physical Review Research letter, the team published the paper ‘Chaotic switching for quantum coin Parrondo’s games with application to encryption’ and discovered that chaotic switching for quantum coin Parrondo’s games has similar underlying ideas and working dynamics to encryption.
