Hi everyone :)

I was wondering if someone had ANY idea of a liquid (or a mixture of liquids) that would glow in the dark, without the use of a special lamp.

The reason I ask is because before first of September I have to have an idea for a product. I have the idea, but it has to be feasible of course.

So any help would be great :D

Man! My Chemistry teacher DEFINITELY did a demo of something phosphorescent. I'll send him an e-mail and see if I can coax the secret out of him.

Well, here's some bad news

Neon = very expensive and does not emit light of its own. It needs electricity.

=> My neon idea has been scrambled.

And Leif, thanks for the help, but I didn't understand one bit of that :P

No, after some googling I already found that it's also in a liquid form.

It seems Neon would be my best choice after all, after some hours of Googling :P

Here's a great place if it's elements your looking for, providing you can decipher the groups: Clikeh I use it a lot in revision, there's like 118 elements there, perfect for an info-geek like me
