"By incorporating heavy elements such as iodide and bromine into the dyes, it creates a heavy atom effect that enhances phosphorescence. However, its potential in ligand-protected metal clusters ...

(Courtesy: M Williams) New measurements by physicists from the University of Surrey in the UK have shed fresh light on where the universe’s heavy elements come from. The measurements, which were made ...

The cocoon where free neutrons may be available for the r-process is shown in red. (Courtesy: LANL) A model that could help explain how heavy elements are forged within collapsing stars has been ...

In this study, the researchers successfully demonstrated that the internal heavy atom effect, induced by an encapsulated iodide ion, plays a vital role in improving phosphorescence. The heavy atom ...
