Emission maximum of 420 nanometers (a blue-violet) and lifetime of 1.3 seconds matches up nicely with what the grape jolly ranchers are doing.<br/> <img src="https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/117/476/456/872/630/092/original/9457cdac7d9f0637.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/117/476/471/885/528/586/original/026f0d15ea98f77d.png"> <br/> 2026-10-21T02:13:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrmddmh8as8877vs0cnqclp3vvpmp75p70mszpggrfem72rzxl0tszyrf7m7qtg5ern6fn8dk3eqxqvmrn4f3vesugeq23hldl2caefuzl7dnyrt3 The coolest part? The grape flavor Jolly Rancher is phosphorescent, meaning that it continues to give off fluorescent light after I turn off the UV light. To see phosphorescence I had to switch out my big 395 nm flashlight for a shorter-wavelength 365 nanometer light.<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://stockroom.wandering.shop/media_attachments/files/117/457/161/006/732/825/original/b3c34d9ae45d44f5.mp4"></video><br/> 2026-10-17T16:27:35Z
