Synthesis, properties and applications of DNA-templated copper nanoclusters in chemical and biological sensing

Congratulations to our Ph.D. student Fabio Spiaggia for his publication entitled “Synthesis, properties and applications of DNA-templated copper nanoclusters in chemical and biological sensing” in the Trends in Analytical Chemistry. DNA-templated copper nanoclusters (DNA-CuNCs) are versatile nanomaterials with remarkable properties: low cost, low toxicity, biocompatibility, Mega-Stokes shifts, and utility in…
