Representation of energy transfer across the linked lanthanides

Caption

When blue light is shone on the dysprosium end of linked lanthanide crystals (blue crystal), the terbium end (orange crystal) luminesces green. This is likened to a train transporting energy. (Pedro Paulo Ferreira da Rosa, et al. Nature Communications. July 5, 2022).
