Sparklers in super slow-motion
With the advent of Independence Day, people across the country celebrate with fireworks. Sparklers are a classic crowd-pleaser, and this week the American Chemical Society’s Reactions looks at the chemistry of these July 4 mainstays in super slow-motion. Watch as the special chemical composition of sparklers creates a prolonged, magical experience.
Tiny imperfections have big impact in nanopatterned materials
With the advent of nanotechnology, not only can tiny particles be deposited, but the target surfaces or substrates can also be tailored to control the resulting structures.
New phosphor for next-generation LEDs
Researchers from KU Leuven (Belgium), the University of Strasbourg, and CNRS, both in France, discovered a new phosphor that could make next-generation fluorescent and LED lighting even less expensive and more efficient.
