The researchers say that their LnNP based LEDs will allow for widely tuneable EL properties by changing the type and ...

LEDs are all around us and come in quite a few different forms, but this new discovery just might open up a whole new realm ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new class of lanthanide-doped nanomaterials that exhibit extraordinarily high optical nonlinearity, exceeding a magnitude ...

X-rays are electromagnetic waves with short wavelengths and strong penetrability in physical matter, including live organisms. Scintillators capable of converting X-rays into the ultraviolet (UV), ...

A comprehensive review published in Food & Medicine Homology highlights the transformative potential of time-resolved ...

Lanthanides are rare-earth heavy metals with useful magnetic properties and a knack for emitting light. Researchers had long assumed that lanthanides' toxicity risk was low and therefore safe to ...

"We like to make molecules that have no right to exist", says Dr David Mills from the University of Manchester. "Imagining ways to make our target molecules is a fun and creative process, and provides ...

Ten years ago, in a steaming volcanic mudpot in Italy, microbiologists discovered a bizarre bacterium—the first known organism that couldn’t live without lanthanides. To help it feed on methane, ...
