Nanographenes exhibit outstanding photophysical properties:intrinsic blinking even in air,excellent fluorescence recovery,and stability over several months.Asaproof of concept for super-resolution applications,weuse nanographenes in SMLM to generate 3D super-resolution images of silica nanocracks.O ur findings open the door for the widespread application of nanographenes in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy.}, pages = {496--502}, title = {Nanographenes: Ultrastable, Switchable, and Bright Probes for Super-Resolution Microscopy}, volume = {59}, year = {2019} }
