Organic glow-in-the-dark molecule shows promise for imaging and security applications

From anti-counterfeiting inks to bioimaging agents, phosphorescent materials that glow after light exposure are critical for security and sensing applications. However, most current systems rely on inorganic phosphors or heavy metal complexes, which are expensive and biologically incompatible, and are not environmentally friendly.
