    On February 18, it was learned from Fuzhou University that the scientific research team led by Professor Yang Huanghao, Professor Chen Qiushui and Professor Liu Xiaogang of the National University of Singapore was the first in the world to discover a class of high-performance nanoscintillator long afterglow materials, and successfully developed a new flexible X-ray imaging technology, so that conventional SLR cameras and mobile phones can also take X-ray films
    .
    This original result was published
    online in the authoritative international journal Nature.

    According to reports, researchers took inspiration from rare earth halide lattices to prepare new rare earth nanoscintillator long afterglow materials
    .
    On this basis, the nanoscintillator long afterglow material is combined with a flexible matrix to successfully develop a transparent, stretchable and high-resolution flexible X-ray imaging device
    .
    This technology has the advantages of simple preparation process, low cost and excellent imaging performance, and has shown great potential and application value
    in portable X-ray detectors, biomedicine, industrial flaw detection, high-energy physics and other fields.
