A research team led by the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, or CNSI, demonstrated a new type of light-emitting material expected to be suitable for photonics—devices based on light in the ...

Could there be a new kind of light in the universe? Since the late 19th century, scientists have understood that, when heated, all materials emit light in a predictable spectrum of wavelengths. New ...

Kerala University has secured a patent for an innovation in a light-emitting material that is capable of producing the full visible spectrum of colours from a single host material.

A phosphorescent material was developed with around three times the afterglow luminance and twice the emission time of conventional materials, even when used with LED lighting (460nm). A flexible ...

Recycling plastics may have just gotten as simple as flipping a switch, thanks to scientists from Eindhoven University of Technology. The school reported on the study, recently published in the ...

(Nanowerk News) Smartphones, laptops, and lighting applications rely on light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to shine bright. But the brighter these LED technologies shine, the more inefficient they become, ...

Despite the apparent brilliance of display screens that light up the world, deep blue hues are hard to come by. Now a team of scientists led by Rutgers University that includes researchers at the U.S.

Lettuce leaves basking in the red glow underneath a light-converting plastic film grew more than 20% larger than their counterparts in normal LED or sunlight (Nature Food 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s43016-021 ...
