title: White luminescence from multiple-dye-doped electrospun DNA nanofibers by fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
abstract: A DNA spin-off: Electrospinning of DNA complexes gives nanofibers with a highly ordered morphology that allows homogeneous distribution of encapsulated multiple chromophores. The emission color can be controlled by suitable choice of the donor-acceptor pair and the doping ratio. Pure white-light emission from nanofibers is demonstrated (see picture).
