Stars made of glow-in-the-dark plastic are placed on walls, ceilings, or hanging from strings make a room look like the night sky. [29] Other objects like figurines, cups, posters, [30] lamp fixtures, toys [31] and bracelet beads may also glow. [32] Using blacklights makes these things glow brightly, common at raves, bedrooms, theme parks, and ...
Phosphorescent paint is commonly called "glow-in-the-dark" paint. It is made from phosphors such as silver-activated zinc sulfide or doped strontium aluminate, and typically glows a pale green to greenish-blue color. The mechanism for producing light is similar to that of fluorescent paint, but the emission of visible light persists long after ...
This technology offers up to ten times higher brightness than previous zinc sulfide–based materials. These types of phosphorescent pigments, often called lume, operate like a rechargeable light battery. After sufficient activation by sunlight, fluorescent, LED, UV (blacklight), incandescent and other light sources, they glow in the dark for ...

Many animals can glow in the dark. In a new study, scientists report that deep-sea corals that lived 540 million years ago may have been the first animals to glow, far earlier than previously thought.
Unlike with fluorescence, in phosphorescence the electron retains stability, emitting light that continues to "glow in the dark" even after the stimulating light source has been removed. [25] For example, glow-in-the-dark stickers are phosphorescent, but there are no truly biophosphorescent animals known. [29]
Glow-in-the-dark totems The Eysturoy Tunnel isn’t the only dazzling undersea experience. Since December 2023, Streymoy and the wee island of Sandoy have been connected by the latest subsea ...
The development of strontium aluminate pigments in 1993 was spurred on by the need to find a substitute for glow-in-the-dark materials with high luminance and long phosphorescence, especially those that used promethium. This led to the discovery by Yasumitsu Aoki (Nemoto & Co.) of materials with luminance approximately 10 times greater than ...
