Learn more about the difference between bioluminescence and photoluminescence, and about the particular chemical compounds that give bandicoots (and other Australian mammals) their colorful glow.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial began with the Cassie Tape being played, testimony from a male exotic dancer and opening statements.

Scorpions are one of many animals that appear to glow under ultraviolet (UV) light. Scientists are finding that photoluminescence is more common than previously suspected.

Edinburgh Instruments, a pioneer in advanced photoluminescence instrumentation, is excited to announce the launch of its latest product innovation, the FS5 v2 Spectrofluorometer. Building on the ...

Time-resolved photoluminescence is a validated method for tracking the photoexcited carrier dynamics in luminescent materials. This technique probes the photoluminescence decays upon a periodic ...

Light emission by metals at room temperature is quenched by fast relaxation processes. Nevertheless, Mooradian reported in 1969 the observation of photoluminescence by metals pumped by a laser. While ...

The novel method was presented in the paper “ Daylight photoluminescence imaging of photovoltaic systems using inverter-based switching,” published in Progress in Photovoltaics.

Now, a team of researchers at Kyoto University has achieved a ten-fold enhancement of forward-directed photoluminescence by replacing aluminum with a better material. “It turns out that titanium ...

Phosphor plates combined with nanoantennas using metallic aluminum have increased photoluminescence. However, aluminum also absorbs light, reducing the output in high-intensity lighting applications.

Photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectroscopy is applied to observe the evolution of the luminescence spectra from dopant-diffused crystalline silicon wafers with varying excitation wavelength.

PL as a simple but ubiquitous technique for material characterization is commonly used as a qualitative tool for assessing the material quality. Surprisingly, it is shown that PL can yield nearly ...

Photoluminescence spectra have been measured at 80 K in Czochralski-grown silicon wafers annealed at 450 °C, causing thermal donor and oxygen-precipitate generation. Six subbandgap luminescence peaks ...
