Shine without the mine: Researchers create photoluminescent lignin
A team of researchers from UK’s Nottingham Trent University and Yale University’s Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering have demonstrated a more sustainable alternative to photoluminescent solid-state materials used in display technologies, lighting, sensors, security inks, and biomedical imaging. Combining lignin and histidine, the team was able to create materials that absorb ultraviolet light […]
