Chemists create the brightest known fluorescent materials in existence – Tech Explorist
Scientists developed a class of materials called small-molecule ionic isolation lattices (SMILES), which is described as the brightest fluorescent materials in existence.
Fluorescence is critical to many advanced applications in optical materials, including OLEDs and photonics. Despite their wide-applications, these materials have faced a 150-year-old struggle when it comes to transferring their properties from a liquid solution to a solid, which has limited the fluorescents’ overall use.
A team of scientists at Indiana University and the University of Copenhagen has presented a universal solution to solve this long-standing problem of fluorescent dyes. Instead …
