| Firefly glow in the dark magnets are probably
the most noticeable of all of our artificial
insect magnets, especially in the dark. These glow
in the dark fireflies are powered by phosphors,
chemical compounds that emit visible light after
being radiated with a light source. Electrons
in phosphors, like children and politicians, are
easily excited. When the firefly is charged with
light, the materials of its wings and body quickly
ascend to a higher electron orbit, giving off a
green glow in the process. When people see this
firefly magnet glowing brightly
on your fridge they will want one for themselves. |
