<p>Forget street lights, Singapore just came up with an innovative solution that will change the game forever. </p> <p>In Singapore, a glow in the dark pathway is being tested along a trail that was previously part of an old railway track. How cool is that? Just imagine walking on a pathway that lights up at night, what an experience that would be!</p> <p class="articleimg"><img id="ed-img" class="art-lazy imwidth-full" title="Singapore Is Testing Glow In The Dark Footpaths" data-original="http://media.new.mensxp.com/media/content/2017/Jul/singapore-is-testing-glow-in-the-dark-footpaths-740x400-1-1501248384.jpg" alt="Singapore Is Testing Glow In The Dark Footpaths" src="http://media.new.mensxp.com/media/content/2017/Jul/singapore-is-testing-glow-in-the-dark-footpaths-740x400-1-1501248384.jpg" />© NG YI SHU/MASHABLE</p> <p>The government has a lot of plans to overhaul the rail line, with this luminous trail being just one of the ideas being tested.</p> <p>Basically, the track glows because of the strontium aluminate compounds embedded in it, a chemical that is usually found in glow-in-the-dark products. The main purpose of this chemical is to absorb ultraviolet light in the day, and then to emit luminescence at night.</p> <p class="articleimg"><img id="ed-img" class="art-lazy imwidth-full" title="Singapore Is Testing Glow In The Dark Footpaths" data-original="http://media.new.mensxp.com/media/content/2017/Jul/singapore-is-testing-glow-in-the-dark-footpaths-740x400-2-1501248418.jpg" alt="Singapore Is Testing Glow In The Dark Footpaths" src="http://media.new.mensxp.com/media/content/2017/Jul/singapore-is-testing-glow-in-the-dark-footpaths-740x400-2-1501248418.jpg" />© NG YI SHU/MASHABLE</p> <p>There are tests being carried out to figure out which material gives the best results in terms of a safer and more resilient trail, and then the government will seek feedback from the public as well as measure the materials' durability.</p> <p>As of now, the trail is quite short, but if everything works out, this will be implemented extensively across the 24km long Rail Corridor project. </p> <p class="articleimg"><img id="ed-img" class="art-lazy imwidth-full" title="Singapore Is Testing Glow In The Dark Footpaths" data-original="http://media.new.mensxp.com/media/content/2017/Jul/singapore-is-testing-glow-in-the-dark-footpaths-740x400-3-1501248454.jpg" alt="Singapore Is Testing Glow In The Dark Footpaths" src="http://media.new.mensxp.com/media/content/2017/Jul/singapore-is-testing-glow-in-the-dark-footpaths-740x400-3-1501248454.jpg" />© NG YI SHU/MASHABLE</p> <p>According to <a href="http://mashable.com/2017/07/26/glow-in-dark-tracks-singapore/?utm_cid=mash-com-Tw-main-link&sf101015498=1#59J2eQ_FCiqH" target="_blank">Mashable</a>, the track's glow was quite underwhelming as of now. But, maybe, with some improvements, this interesting idea will actually work out.</p>
