    Discovery: A New Form of Light

    September 27, 2016, Categories  Chemistry/Nanotechnology

    University of Vermont doctoral student Morgan Cousins holds up a sample of a solution of strange rotor molecules made from boron-based dye. Led by UVM chemistry professor Matt Liptak (on left), she was part of a team that tested the dye and discovered how the molecules can release a bright fluorescent glow--it's a new method to create light. The new light may have many promising applications including novel kinds of LED bulbs and medical imaging. Their results were published in the journal Nature Chemistry. Credit: Joshua Brown

    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...
