Abstract: A method includes forming a layer of molecular feedstock over a surface of a substrate, the molecular feedstock including a chiral molecule, forming crystal nuclei from the molecular feedstock within a nucleation region of the layer, and growing the crystal nuclei to form an organic solid crystal (OSC) thin film. A chiral molecule-containing organic solid crystal thin film may have a refractive index and birefringence that can be actively tuned via charge injection. An organic solid crystal (OSC) thin film including a single enantiomer of a chiral organic molecule may be configured to propagate a selected handedness of circularly polarized light.

Abstract: An optical modulator includes an organic solid crystal thin film having an organic molecule and an electron withdrawing group (EWG) bonded to the organic molecule, a primary electrode disposed over a first region of the organic solid crystal thin film, and a secondary electrode disposed over a second region of the organic solid crystal thin film, wherein an optical property of the organic solid crystal thin film is configured to change in response to a changing voltage between the primary electrode and the secondary electrode.

Abstract: An organic solid crystal (OSC) thin film includes an organic crystalline phase, where the organic crystalline phase includes a chiral molecule. A chiral molecule-containing organic solid crystal thin film may have a refractive index and birefringence that can be actively tuned via charge injection. An organic solid crystal thin film including a single enantiomer of a chiral organic molecule may be configured to propagate a selected handedness of circularly polarized light.

Abstract: Fluorescence quenching nitrodiarylethene analogs are useful in oligonucleotide conjugates and probes. These analogs, whose absorption spectra are substantially blue-shifted relatively to emission spectra of common fluorophores (such as fluorescein), do not need to rely on spectral overlap of quencher absorbance and fluorophore's emission for their quenching abilities. The oligonucleotide-quencher conjugates may be used in detection methods for nucleic acid targets.

Abstract: Glucose-sensing luminescent dyes, polymers, and sensors are provided. Additionally, systems including the sensors and methods of using these sensors and systems are provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides polymerizable luminescent dyes useful for incorporation into polymers. The dyes and the polymers can be used in sensing and imaging applications, for example, to provide accurate and optionally long term measurements of glucose in vivo. The present disclosure also provides sensors including the polymers described herein. The sensors can be implanted into a tissue of a subject and used for long-term or short-term continuous and semi-continuous collection of data of various biochemical analytes, optionally without the use of implantable hardware of any type and/or enzymatic and electrochemical detection methods.
