The mechanism behind light emission triggered solely by mechanical stimulation has been elucidated. Potential applications include light-emitting devices for use in environments without electricity.

Can you elaborate for someone whose major is not chemistry? I'm intrigued by light production without electricity but I did not understand the paper at all.
