Ultra-bright emission from hexagonal boron nitride defects as a new platform for bio-imaging and bio-labelling

Bio-imaging requires robust ultra-bright probes without causing any toxicity to the cellular environment, maintain their stability and are chemically inert. In this work we present hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoflakes which exhibit narrowband ultra-bright single photon emitters. The emitters are...
