Diaper rash pick ? Brilliant white luminosity ? What ? oddly enough , scientists with Duke University and the US Army have let out that a cheap napkin blizzard and erythema solare emollient produces a brilliant whitened sparkle when heated .
“ Duke adjunct aperient prof Henry Everitt , chemistry professor Jie Liu and their alumna bookman John Foreman have discover that adding sulphur to ultra - fine pulverisation of humdrum zinc oxide at about 1,000 degrees centigrade allows the preparation to convert invisible ultraviolet light into a unusually undimmed and lifelike strain of white sparkle . ”
The scientists are currently probing the potency of their concoction to prepare a novel solid - state firing solution that beats the pant off of current fluorescents . Naturally , the military has expressed interest in the technology — operate so far as to fast track funding for the project in hopes that they can deliver soldiers a new rugged and Energy Department effective light source . Unlike light-emitting diode , this light is ideal for reading because its blanched light suit the human eye best .
Naturally , there are still hurdles to overcome , but test have been assure . So far , they have been capable to achieve efficiencies as gamey as 80 percent . [ Science Daily ]
