Light does not have to be a (rapid) killer of chemical molecules

Wednesday, September 30, 2015 - 10:50 in Physics & Chemistry

Chemical molecules strongly interacting with light generally disintegrate very rapidly. In new research, the main mechanism conducive to this destruction has been determined. This knowledge makes it possible to enhance the photostability of molecules several times over, which is of significance not only for the measurement methods used in laboratory studies, but also for manufacturers of everyday objects, especially those made of colored polymers.
