Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have developed a synthetic material based on the natural hackmanite mineral, which produces broad spectrum white light in lamps. The low-cost hackmanite-based material created by the Inorganic Materials Chemistry research group emits luminescence closer to sunlight than currently used lanthanides.
