Porous Polymeric Materials Increasing the Efficiency of Traditional Photocatalysts in Treatment of Cancer

Researchers at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Castellón have found porous polymeric materials that increase the efficiency of traditional photocatalysts in the treatment of cancer. Photodynamic therapy consists of introducing photocatalysts into tumour cells in such a way that when radiation (in the form of light) is applied, the photocatalysts destroy these cells as a result of the production of a reactive agent known as singlet oxygen.

Behavior Of Quantum Dots When Combined To Form Molecules Doesn't Fit With Atomic Physics Theory

A study has demonstrated that the behaviour of quantum dots is different from that posited by atomic physics so far, and this is due to the spin of the electron. This is one of the findings of the theoretical study c...
