We are thrilled to announce that our laboratory at the Politechnika Krakowska im. Tadeusza Kościuszki (Cracow University of Technology) was recently featured in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN)!

Here is the story of the photo:

"A candid moment in the lab turned into a stunning photo when Prof. Joanna Ortyl noticed the beautiful fluorescence of her nail polish while working with our fluorescent solutions. The glowing green flasks in the background contain thiophene chromophores, which are essential in creating photoinitiators for polymerization reactions. The serendipitous match of the green solutions with the pink fluorescence of her nail polish made for an eye-catching image."

Here’s to celebrating the beauty of science and the creativity of everyday moments in the lab!

Our fluorescent research is funded by units
