Carbon dots fluoresce their way through the rainbow as liquids change
Fluorescent materials usually emit a single consistent color. They are typically made from dyes or metallic components.
AI Summary
Researchers reported in ACS Central Science that carbon dots can fluoresce in a range of colors under UV light, with the emitted hue varying according to the dots’ concentration and the liquid medium they are dispersed in. This contrasts with typical fluorescent materials, which usually emit a single consistent color and are made from dyes or metallic components.
