Full Colour Glow-In-The-Dark Fabrics

The 80’s are back with a vengeance and surely neon fashion can’t be far behind. And just in time, scientists have developed full-colour glow-in-the-dark fabrics, sure to be all the rage in the fashion world!

Scientists have developed glow-in-the-dark materials that shine in colors!Phosphorescent materials absorb energy when exposed to light and emit that energy as light again over long time periods. Good blue and green phosphorescent compounds have been around for some time but until now red ones lasted minutes instead of hours. Saito and colleagues Naoki Adachi and Hiroyasu Kondo got around this by adding red dye to green and blue phosphors. (neatorama)

I still cringe at the thought of neon yellow and day-glo green... surely this part of the 80's can stay in the past!
