ChemSpider Blog

I worked at Kodak for over 5 years  in the research labs in Rochester. I had a great time and did some of my best scientific research  in those labs and saw the scientists there do things with chemistry and light sensitivity that were just fascinating. Today I was catching up with my blog reader backlog as well as reading through C&E News. I came across this fascinating article on both the Wired blog and in C&E News (subscription required) and MORE importantly the accompanying video.

What you will see in that video is an “immediate” change in color from a colorless solution to a localized green spot based on light. And I mean IMMEDIATE. Watch the video…check out the molecule here. This will provide a reference/link to the article.

Start thinking..how could this technology be used? As they modify and create different colors what will the technology lead to….suggestions welcome!
