A research team has observed, in polystyrene-based scintillation materials, photon amplification and emission that cannot be explained with the established scintillation mechanism. Photon yield from the polystyrene-based scintillation materials was found to increase in accordance with a power-law of concentration of fluorescent molecules doped in polystyrene.
