1. A research team at NIMS has successfully developed an environmentally friendly, microspherical fluorescent material primarily made from citric acid. These microbeads emit various colors of light ...

Next-generation banknotes and passports could benefit from a novel approach to fine-tuning the color of fluorescent polymers, which could also advance microscopy and imaging techniques used in cell ...

Light is light, right? Not exactly. The light that comes from the overhead fluorescents at your office is probably nothing like the light that pours from your favorite chandelier at home or that of ...

X-Rite Incorporated, a global leader in color science and technology, announces the Judge LED light booth, designed for precise visual color evaluation as industries shift from fluorescent to ...

The discovery of green fluorescent protein (GFP), which is made by a jellyfish, transformed cell biology. It allowed scientists to stitch the GFP sequence to proteins from other organisms to trace ...

A process for creating silicon nanoparticles, developed at the University of Illinois, has now been shown to produce a family of discrete particle sizes useful for microelectronics, optoelectronics ...

How does color work, and how does the type of light source you use affect the colors you see? Appliance Science looks at the science of light and color. Richard Baguley Richard Baguley has been ...
