Researchers at Rice University have identified a novel, second level of fluorescence by carbon nanotubes. The Rice University team discovered that single-walled nanotubes emit a delayed secondary fluorescence when triggered by a multistep process in a solution with dye molecules and dissolved oxygen. Potential applications for the findings include optoelectronics and solar energy developments.
