Fluorescent molecules have enabled single-molecule detection of toxins, biomarkers, and pollutants under controlled conditions. Unfortunately, these fluorophores are typically organic molecules that degrade or become photobleached when applied to non-ideal systems. Noble metal nanoclusters, in parti...
