The Time-of-Flight Positron Emission Tomography (TOF-PET) is the most diffuse technology for diagnostic imaging employed in oncology, which allows to reconstruct the image of the tumor tissues with a spatial accuracy of few centimeters. To employ this technology for prevention is necessary to be able to detect embryonal tumors with sizes of few millimeters.

The research team led by Prof. Sergio Brovelli of the Department of Materials Science of the University of Milano-Bicocca, together with the research group led by Prof. Liang Li from Jiao Tong University and the Shanghai Institute of Ecological Safety and Pollution Control, developed innovative light emitting diodes (LEDs) with record efficiencies even at high operating temperatures, which are typically detrimental to traditional devices.
