title: Conjugated polymer/photochromophore binary nanococktails: bistable photoswitching of near-infrared fluorescence for in vivo imaging.
abstract: Nanoscopic dense integration between solid-state emission and photochromism provides nanoprobes capable of photoswitching of bright NIR fluorescence with high on/off contrast, bistability and improved signal identification, being suitable for imaging applications in autofluorescence-rich in vivo environments.
