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.
The new light may sense viscosity within a cell and could have promising applications including novel kinds of LED bulbs and medical imaging.Image credit: Joshua Brown
