New Material Emits Long-Lasting NIR Light

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ATHENS, Ga., Nov. 22, 2011 — While visible-light emitters are commonplace, there has been little success in creating materials that emit light in the near-infrared (NIR) — until now. A new material developed at the University of Georgia emits a NIR glow for two weeks after a single minute of exposure to sunlight, or even fluorescent lights. Researchers at the University of Georgia in Athens have developed a new material that emits a long-lasting near-infrared glow after a single minute of exposure to sunlight. By mixing it with paint, they were able to draw an image of the university's logo whose...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    near-infrared
    The shortest wavelengths of the infrared region, nominally 0.75 to 3 µm.
