Novel material converts infrared light into visible light, opening new routes for photodynamic therapy and drug development

(Columbia University) Columbia University scientists, in collaboration with researchers from Harvard, have succeeded in developing a chemical process to absorb infrared light and re-emit it as visible energy, allowing innocuous radiation to penetrate living tissue and other materials without the damage caused by high-intensity light exposure.
