Vice President Kashim Shettima has launched the ‘Light Up Nigeria,’ South East Initiative in Enugu, describing it as the much-expected solution to the power

Vice President Kashim Shettima officially launched the Light Up Nigeria, South East Initiative today in Enugu.

Optical probes have led to numerous breakthroughs in applications like optical memory, nanopatterning, and bioimaging, but existing options have limited lifespans and will eventually photobleach. New work demonstrates a promising, longer-lasting alternative: ultra-photostable avalanching nanoparticles that can turn on and off indefinitely in response to near-infrared light from simple lasers.

In 2021, lanthanide-doped nanoparticles made waves—or rather, an avalanche—when Changwan Lee, then a PhD student in Jim Schuck’s lab at Columbia Engineering, set off an extreme light-producing chain reaction from ultrasmall crystals developed at the Molecular Foundry at Berkeley Lab.

A research team, affiliated with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has made a significant breakthrough in uncovering the potential of ultra-photostable avalanching nanoparticles (ANP).
