Scientists Created the Brightest Fluorescent Material Ever Known – VICE UK
SMILES crystals, made from star-shaped lattices, are a solution to a 150-year old problem in materials science.
Behold: The mesmerizing glow of the brightest fluorescent material ever made. These colorful bundles of light may look like visions from a dream of the 1980s, but they are real 3D-printed objects illuminated by a new class of materials called SMILES, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Chem.
SMILES, which stands for small-molecule ionic isolation lattices, are crystals scaffolded by star-shaped structures that can brighten the light of fluorescent dyes to unprecedented lev…
