Luminescent Wood Film Could be Used as Cover Panels for Optical Devices

Luminescent Wood Film Could be Used as Cover Panels for Optical Devices

The right indoor lighting can help set the mood, from a soft romantic glow to bright, stimulating colors. But some materials used for lighting, such as plastics, are not eco-friendly. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Nano have developed a bio-based, luminescent, water-resistant wood film that could someday be used as cover panels for lamps, displays and laser devices.

Water-Soluble TPE Molecules Emit Visible Light When Attached to Artificial Cell Membrane Surface

Water-Soluble TPE Molecules Emit Visible Light When Attached to Artificial Cell Membrane Surface

Researchers at Kanazawa University monitored the emission of blue-green light from water-soluble tetraphenylethene molecules adsorbed at a phospholipid-adsorbed liquid-liquid interface made to resemble a biomembrane. They found that the process could be reversibly controlled by an externally applied potential (voltage), which opens the possibility for a new class of molecular probes and targeted drug delivery systems.
