It has been quite a journey, but I am excited to share the first research contribution from the Calvino Group @livMatS_UniFR, @FitFreiburg, @UniFreiburg.
Check out how we have turned these quinolinones into an effective wavelength-gated system!

Liquid-nanodroplet-containing polymers make great scintillators that allow pulse shape discrimination! The study led by @hu_xueqian was supported by @snsf_ch & is a result of a productive collab. with Angelo Monguzzi and team @unimib. Details: doi.org/10.1002/adma.2024004… @AdvSciNews.
