In 1855 Charles Goodyear invented a new method to convert and modify the rubber by giving it better physical characteristics. The vulcanization method is based on reactions between the rubber and sulfur. Sulfur is used to create “sulfur bridges”, chemical bonds that give to the rubber stability, resistance and elasticity. Sulfur treatment gives also resistance to deform...

The company is the world's leading supplier in the Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs), complex carbohydrates that exist naturally in large quantities in human breast milk. Glycom produces HMOs by fermentation wi...

The fact that the emission is at a shorter wavelength than the excitation light makes upconversion distinct from other forms of photoluminescence such as fluorescence and phosphorescence where the emission always occurs at a longer wavelength, and upconversion luminescence is therefore also known as anti-Stokes fluorescence. Upconversion occurs through the sequential abs...
