Green Glow: Biomass Macrocycles and Phosphorescence

Scientists are on a roll to make sustainable, high-performance materials. They are working on materials that can emit light for a long time even at room temperature. These are called organic ultralong room temperature phosphorescence, or OURTP, but that's a mouthful. So let's call it "glow in the dark" materials. These materials are made from natural substances...
