OLED materials have potential new uses in detecting pesticides for the farming industry Researchers are set to shine a different kind of light on the farming industry after receiving funding to explore how fluorescent materials can detect the presence of pesticides and herbicides in food...

Organic light-emitting diodes - more commonly known as OLEDs - are usually found in our TV and phone screens, but now Northumbria researchers think they may have found a new way to use them... to detect pesticides being used in the farming industry.

We finished 2024 with a group meal at My Delhi followed by a group meeting and coffee at Lagom. We have had many successes to celebrate this year due to the hard work of the team and we wish Ruth a fantastic visit to Canada in the New Year. Here's to more great science in 2025! #ChemSky #PhysicsSky
