A team of German and Dutch scientists synthesized a series of substances, which show bright luminescence under UV light.  “The compounds decompose upon contact with oxygen or moisture. Because of that, all chemicals must be thoroughly dried in specialized vacuum ovens and all manipulations must be… [read more]

Press release: Theoretical calculations indicate that under certain conditions silicon can endow solar cells with a much higher efficiency. Small silicon clusters may provide a source of accordingly modified silicon. However, to date these clusters have not been accessible in soluble form, a… [read more]
