The Evening Runway with Hongbin Jeong, Roshan Gidwani & Chua Tian Tian (4pm - 7pm)Under the Radar: Creating, detecting and manipulating light - Nanolumi on the use of luminescent materials for TV displays; product authentication, fuel marking, bioimaging; Working with government entities, bunkering firms; Accelerating the growth of a nascent market; Backers including SGInnovate;
Nanomaterials that could create, detect and manipulate light – that’s what we’re going to talk about today.
It may sound like a sci-fi movie, but these so-called ‘optical materials’ are widely used in our daily lives.
Think about the nanocrystals used to emit bright and life-like colours in our TV displays, or luminous materials in invisible inks used to mark barrels of oils for tax accounting purposes, and even materials that light up to allow researchers to view the vascular structure in our bodies.
Founded in 2018, our guest Nanolumi is an advanced materials company that uses cutting edge chemistries to provide nanocrystals and invisible inks I mentioned earlier.
Aside from that, such light emitting materials can also be used to track goods such as automotive parts and electronics throughout their supply chain and prevent counterfeit goods.
But how does this work exactly, and how much money does this represent for Nanolumi?
On Under the Radar, Drive Time’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Jax Lee, CEO, Nanolumi.
