From red to blue: a new strategy for Uphill Energy Conversion

Scientists from the universities of Sao Paulo and Thueringen present a new methodology for uphill energy conversion, converting red irradiation light into blue emission light using the instability of 1,2-dioxetanes and converting chemical energy into electronic excitation energy.
