Triboluminescence

Sky-ku in Fractoluminescence

By Antoni De'LeonPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Spectacularly

Triboluminescence blooms

Prisms in moonlight

++++++++++++++++++++

Sweet sugar cubes crushed

Phenomenally in flight

Fracturing crystals

++++++++++++++++++

Emission of light

Sends Fractoluminescence

A wintergreen crush

.......................................................

Triboluminescence is a phenomenon in which light is generated when a material is mechanically pulled apart, ripped, scratched, crushed, or rubbed.

Fractoluminescence. Fractoluminescence is often used as a synonym for triboluminescence. It is the emission of light from the fracture (rather than rubbing) of a crystal, but fracturing often occurs with rubbing.
