Laurent Cognet @laurentcognetbx.bsky.social · 10/05/2026A milestone I had been chasing for a long time. The key idea: using carbon nanotubes as perfect tunable 1D dipoles at the single-particle level, together with a dipole spread function engineering approach. Great collaboration with Jana Zaumseil, Ben Flavel, Sophie Brasselet, and Laurent Groc 031

Laurent Cognet @laurentcognetbx.bsky.social · 22/05/2025This is a great collaboration with the amazing labs of Jana Zaumseil, Laurent Groc and Erwan Bezard 020
Laurent Cognet @laurentcognetbx.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Key Highlights: 🔹 High brightness combined with nanoscale size 🔹 Nonlinear photoluminescence behavior under varying excitation conditions 🔹 PL quantum yields up to 20% 🔹 Demonstration of high-resolution, 3D single-particle tracking in thick brain tissue 010
Laurent Cognet @laurentcognetbx.bsky.social · 22/05/2025🔥 Our latest research on ultrashort carbon nanotubes (uCCNTs) with luminescent color centers has been published in ACS Nano! We've discovered that these uCCNTs are exceptionally bright in the NIRII window, making them ideal for advanced bioimaging, photonics, and quantum science applications.pubs.acs.orgUltrashort Carbon Nanotubes with Luminescent Color Centers Are Bright NIR-II NanoemittersIn the fields of bioimaging, photonics, and quantum science, it is equally crucial to combine high brightness with a nanoscale size in short-wave infrared (SWIR) emitters. However, such nanoemitters a... 161

Ces dernières offrent à la recherche une nouvelle voie d’exploration thérapeutique pour de nombreuses maladies. Comment les exploiter ? 234
Laurent Cognet @laurentcognetbx.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Happy to share our latest preprint rb.gy/py8q7a in which we demonstrate that ultrashort carbon nanotubes have astonishing brightness in the SWIR which propels them as amazing probes for bio-imaging in brain tissue (here in 3D SPT experiments). Yes, brighter than quantum dots and in the SWIR!doi.orgUltrashort Carbon Nanotubes with Luminescent Color Centers are Ultrabright NIR-II Nano-EmittersCombining brightness and nanoscale size of short-wave infrared (SWIR) emitters is equally essential in the fields of bioimaging, photonics, and quantum science, but such nano-emitters are still lackin... 041
