  - 'Scintillation materials convert high-energy radiation to optical light through
    a complex multistage process. The last stage of the process is spontaneous light
    emission, which usually governs and limits the scintillator emission rate and
    light yield. For decades, scintillator research focused on developing faster-emitting
    materials or external photonic coatings for improving light yields. Here, we experimentally
    demonstrate a fundamentally different approach: enhancing the scintillation rate
    and yield via the Purcell effect, utilizing optical environment engineering to
    boost spontaneous emission. This enhancement is universally applicable to any
    scintillating material and dopant when the material’s nanoscale geometry is engineered.
    We design a thin multilayer nanophotonic scintillator, demonstrating Purcell-enhanced
    scintillation with 50% enhancement in emission rate and 80% enhancement in light
    yield. The emission is robust to fabrication disorder, further highlighting its
    potential for x-ray applications. Our results show prospects for bridging nanophotonics
    and scintillator science toward reduced radiation dosage and increased resolution
    for high-energy particle detection.@eng'
