A biographical note in memory of Prof. Claudio Maria Mari  has been published on-line in the scientific journal Ionics. The note was written by Riccardo Ruffo and Sergio Pizzini and will be published in the May issue together with two scientific papers dedicated to Claudio Maria Mari. The works were requested by Ionics editor, Werner Weppner, after the workshop organized in November.

The conversion of solar light into chemical energy is at the basis of photocatalysis, aiming at transforming low-value molecules into useful products. How to improve the photocatalysis efficiency and promote the migration of energy carriers toward active centres? A recent computational study by a group of researchers from the Department of Materials Science of the University of Milano – Bicocca, led by Prof.

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.
