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 emitters1. The emitters are optically stable at room temperature and under ambient
environment. hBN has also been noted to be noncytotoxic and seen significant advances in functionalization with
biomolecules2,3. We further demonstrate two methods of engineering this new range of extremely robust multicolour
emitters across the visible and near infrared spectral ranges for large scale sensing and biolabeling applications.
