The invention is a synthetic method to prepare colloidal nanomaterials of V-VI-VII semiconductors that do not contain toxic elements. This is the first method for the synthesis of mixed anion nanomaterials without toxic elements at large, which permitted to obtain, among others, bismuth chalcohalide nanocrystals that are arguably considered as one of main candidates to be the next big thing for light energy conversion.

AIS aim is a robotized inclinometer measurement in standard inclinometer boreholes. The deep measurements have multiple applications, including: evaluating the rate of deep-seated ground deformation in landslide areas, evaluating the volume of deep-seated landslides and assessing landslide hazards. The AIS is composed by an electronic control manager, an inclinometer probe and an electric motor equipped with a high precision encoder for handling and continuous control of the probe in the borehole.
Geopolymers belong to the class of chemically bonded ceramics: they are synthesized at low temperatures and are eco-friendly, as besides the low consolidation temperature required by the process they can be produced from secondary raw materials and industrial waste of various kinds, thus reducing the energy demand and the environmental impact of the entire production cycle. Materials such as fly ash, steel mill slag, biomass ash, sludge and silt, extractive residues, mineral and ceramic powders, organic or inorganic waste fibers, plastics, etc.
