"for the first time opens up this field of scintillation, fully opens it, for the application of nanophotonics techniques... combination of nanophotonic and scintillators might ultimately enable higher resolution, reduced X-ray dose, and energy-resolved X-ray imaging...  photonic crystals should be applied to scintillators... up to 100 times [improvement], and we believe we also have a path toward making it even better"
