WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Dec. 3 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say a new type of lighting made from plastic could replace fluorescent bulbs and give better, flicker-free light for homes and offices.
Scientists at the Wake Forest University Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials said their shatterproof alternative for large-scale lighting gives off soft, white light, not the yellowish hue from fluorescents or the bluish tinge from LEDs.
