Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the photochemical and photobiological properties of molecules and materials. Topics include the development and application of photosensitizers for therapeutic purposes, such as photodynamic therapy and photochemical immunogenic cell death, as well as studies on light-activated processes in biological systems and materials science. Research also explores the fundamental photophysics and photochemistry of light-emitting and light-absorbing compounds, including those with thermally activated delayed fluorescence.
