‘Naturally Insulating’ Material Emits Pulses of Superfluorescent Light at Room Temperature

Graphic shows process of achieving superflorescence at room temperature.
The process for achieving superflorescence at room temperature is shown in a new paper in Nature Photonics.

Researchers looking to synthesize a brighter and more stable nanoparticle for optical applications found that their creation instead exhibited a more surprising property: bursts of superfluorescence that occurred at both room temperature and regular intervals. The work could lead to the development of faster microchips, neurosensors, or materials for use in quantum computing applications, as well as a number of biological studies.

Superfluorescence occurs when atoms within a material synchronize and simultaneously emit a short but intense burst of light...
