Chihaya Adachi (left) and Ryota Kabe (right) of Kyushu University's Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics Research (OPERA) have developed the world's first glow-in-the-dark materials based on organic molecules. Light from the materials is produced when an electron transfers from an acceptor molecule to a donor molecule, which is represented by the diagram formed by their hands.
