A mix of equal portions of metal ion precursors on a film of graphene oxide (left) are subjected to a photoflash from a Xenon lamp. Heated to more than 1,000 K, the precursors transform into ...

A xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration. It consists of a glass tube filled with xenon gas which emits a short and very bright flash of ...

the tube emits a very bright - but very brief - flash of white light. This brief "strobe" of light is good for "freezing" motion in still photos, reducing blur. However it also means xenon flashes ...
