University of Vermont doctoral student Morgan Cousins holds up a sample of a solution of strange rotor molecules made from boron-based dye. Led by UVM chemistry professor Matt Liptak (on left), she was part of a team that tested the dye and discovered how the molecules can release a bright fluorescent glow--it’s a new method to create light. The new light may have many promising applications including novel kinds of LED bulbs and medical imaging. Their results were published in the journal Nature Chemistry.
