A new method for cleaning tarnished metals using a UV-activated photocatalyst ink has been developed by scientists in the UK. The simple UV-activated, TiO2-based film or ink can remove thin oxide or sulfide layers from metal surfaces by reductive photocatalysis, allowing for corrosion to be removed more easily and cheaply than current approaches, and which could offer a range of applications for …

In new quantum-dot LED design, researchers turn troublesome molecules to their advantage
( Harvard University ) By nestling quantum dots in an insulating egg-crate structure, researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a robust new architecture for quantum-dot light-emitting devices (QD-LEDs). Quantum dots are very tiny crystals that glow with bright, rich colors when stimulated by an electric current. QD-LEDs are expected to find …
