The subatomic behavior of these crystals is fluid, dynamic and, frankly, bewildering in the context of some established laws of quantum physics. However, this latest study, completed early this month, shows that weirdness doesn\u0026rsquo;t necessarily mean ineffectiveness. In fact, the substance could be the key to more efficient electric lighting\u0026mdash;perhaps even across a full rainbow of colors.\u0026quot; The study is by School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and School of Physics Professor \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.chemistry.gatech.edu\/people\/silva%20\/carlos\u0022\u003ECarlos Silva\u003C\/a\u003E and Ph.D. student Felix Thouin.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"30678","created_gmt":"2018-03-28 20:59:37","changed_gmt":"2018-03-28 20:59:37","author":"A.
