I think that it is selenium.
The word selenium comes from the Greek word, "selene", which literally means "moon." The wisdom of naming this element after the Greek word for moon is illustrated by the ability of pure selenium to increase its conductivity as much as a thousand fold when a sample is taken from pure darkness into bright sunlight. Hence, selenium compounds are used in the manufacture of many light-sensitive devices, from photocopy machines (xerography) to outdoor light sensors.
