- Rainbow in the dark
- Technique
- Phase change materials printing.The photos used to compose this image were taken with a smartphone in a dark substrate under UV light. The photos were taken before and after heating the substrate at 60 ºC
- Description
- "It was cold,
I lost my Fun
In the shadows of the night"
"New year comes,
Then I feel the heat,
Nano is shinning over me"
"Feel the magic,
Dancing in the light,
Like a rainbow in the dark"

- Technical specifications
- Phase change materials (PCM) with fluorescent dyes. At room temperature the dyes are aggregated in a rigid matrix and in most of the cases no fluorescence is observed (unactivated-cold state). After heating above the melting point of the PCM, the dyes dissolve and they disaggregate shinning different colors (activated-warm state).
