Scientists at Kyushu University in Japan have pulled off something that sounds almost like a physics magic trick taking ordinary visible sunlight and converting it into ultraviolet light using a newly designed solid-state material. The material works by combining the energy of two low-energy photons to produce a single, higher-energy UV photon, a process called photon upconversion. |
