In research presented at ACS Fall 2026, scientists at the College of Wooster are researching ways to preserve the striking optical effects that these luminary pigments provide so they can have an everlasting glow. [2/4]

To do this, they studied how the pigments absorb, store, & emit light, and how the processes change as the materials age. These glowing colors are not only beautiful in art & fashion; but they could also make a difference in safety applications, such as luminescent paint for airplane runways. [3/4]
