Discovery: A new form of light
Burlington VT (SPX) Oct 10, 2016
Glow-in-the-dark stickers, weird deep-sea fish, LED lightbulbs - all have forms of luminescence. In other words, instead of just reflecting light, they make their own. Now a team of scientists from the University of Vermont and Dartmouth College have discovered a new way that some molecules can make a luminescent glow - a strange, bright green. "It's a new method to create light," says Matthew Liptak, a chemist at UVM who co-led the new research. The new light may have many promising applications ... read more
