Scientists built a chiral metal-organic framework that boosts circularly polarized light, achieving record luminescence and ...

Yanyan Zhang, Yifeng Wang, Jemma L. Taylor, Zhonghao Jiang, Shu Zhang, Fengling Mei, Yunrong Wu and Jun Ni Ping Wu It is well established that both salt and reactive oxygen species (ROS) stresses are ...

Scintillators convert radiation energy into light and are utilized in a variety of fields including medicine and security. Of the many scintillators, Eu (europium)-doped CaF₂ (calcium fluoride) ...

Glow-in-the-dark materials are nothing new. They usually work by absorbing ambient light and then slowly releasing the energy from it, a process called persistent luminescence. However, developing ...

The Photoluminescence Quantum Yield (PLQY) of a material or molecule is defined as the quantity of photons emitted as a fraction of the quantity of photons absorbed. This characteristic of a ...

A luminescence reaction modeled on fireflies can detect contamination with organophosphates with high sensitivity, ease, and low cost. At the center of this technology is a new enzymatic method for ...

Snowmass Luminescence returns this winter with new and familiar light art displays on Fanny Hill through Feb. 27. Installations include “Electric Dandelions,” which look like giant flowers during the ...

Scintillators are materials that convert radiation energy into light. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have made a ...
