Wearable Sensor Could Increase Awareness of UV Exposure
POTSDAM, N.Y., Nov. 6, 2020 — A custom bio-ink developed by Clarkson University researchers could enable wearable sensors designed to increase the wearer’s awareness of UV exposure. Noting the prevalence of skin cancer and the fact that most exposure to UV radiation is intermittent and at varying levels, professor Silvana Andreescu of Clarkson’s Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Science and her team set out to develop a technology capable of detecting and quantifying UV radiation exposure as it
Shaping Light-Activated Nanocatalysts
HOUSTON, Sept. 25, 2020 — A comparative study from Rice University researchers in the college’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP) demonstrated how the shape of nanoparticles affects their ability to drive light-activated reactions. The work is part of LANP’s...
Converting Solar Energy into Hydrogen Fuel with Photosynthesis
HAIFA, Israel, Aug. 17, 2020 — Researchers from the Israel Institute of Technology are designing a photocatalyst capable of breaking down water into hydrogen fuel. The group reports record efficiency for solar-to-fuel conversion and intends to incorporate the mechanics of...
Photocatalysis Could Be Used to Inactivate Coronaviruses
HOUSTON, May 1, 2020 — Rice University researchers plan to reconfigure their wastewater-treatment technology to capture and deactivate the virus that causes COVID-19. Their chemical-free nanotechnology, introduced earlier this year as a way to kill bacterial...
New Light-Activated Metal Compound Kills Cancer Energy Source
COVENTRY, England, Oct. 18, 2019 — A team led by University of Warwick researchers is using light to activate a cancer-killing compound that attacks a vital energy source in cancer cells. This technique could be used not only to treat cancer, but also to help reduce side effects of...
Using Green Light to Synthesize Organic Compounds
YOKOHAMA, Japan, Sept. 23, 2019 — A team from Yokohama National University has developed oxygen heterocycles using green light as a photocatalyst. Their sustainable approach to developing these compounds could help organic chemists develop better drugs. Oxygen heterocycles are ring...
UH Chemist Earns CAREER Award for Work in Luminescence
HOUSTON, Feb. 28, 2019 — University of Houston assistant professor Thomas Teets has received a five-year, $589,000 National Science Foundation CAREER Award to explore synthetic strategies for producing photoactive organometallic compounds. Teets, an experimental chemist,...
Photocatalyst Used to Create a Safe, Sustainable Building Block for New Drugs
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 26, 2018 — While searching for ways to use visible light to drive chemical reactions, a University of Michigan team found that by using photocatalysis, they could create a safe, inexpensive alternative to anilines, which are used for the development of new...
Quantum Dots Catalyze Polymer Creation
HOUSTON, Feb. 13, 2018 — Using semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) as a catalyst for light-mediated radical polymerization, materials scientists are exploring a stable and economical method for making polymers that could be used in place of molecular catalysts or expensive...
Novel Photocatalyst Speeds Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Fuels
DAEGU, South Korea, July 7, 2017 — A titania photocatalyst has been developed that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into methane three times more efficiently than existing photocatalysts. To achieve this result, the titania surface was manipulated. Using a magnesiothermic reduction...
Novel Photopatterning Approach for OLEDs Inveiled
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., June 20, 2017 — A light-mediated methodology to growing patterned, emissive polymer brushes with micron feature resolution could lead to a more efficient, cost-effective method for creating OLED displays. Although many fabrication methods for OLEDs exist, they all...
VIS Light, Photocatalyst Deconstruct BPA
Sep 1, 2015 — A hybrid photocatalyst that can break down bisphenol A (BPA) using visible light could eventually be used to help safely dispose of the widely used chemical. Because BPA doesn’t degrade easily, it can potentially cause harm to humans and the...
New Photocatalyst Enhances VIS Light Absorption
URBANA, Ill., April 25, 2013 — A high-performance solar photocatalyst based on TiO2 and other “metallic” oxides has been shown to greatly enhance visible light absorption, enabling more efficient use of the solar spectrum for energy applications.
Next-Gen researcher
TOLEDO, Ohio – The life of the stereotypical 14-year-old girl revolves around friends, fashion and boys. However, Zainab Al-Firdaus is anything but typical. A sophomore at Perrysburg High School in Ohio, she is a co-author of a published scientific paper. ...
Photolysis Extracts Hydrogen
VICTORIA, Australia, Aug. 26, 2008 – Hydrogen is the most plentiful gas in the universe and having only one proton, it is the simplest element known to man. As a gas, hydrogen is lighter than air and rises into the atmosphere, which is why it is only found as a compound form with other...
