 BBC News | AFRICA | The story eclipsing all others in Angola
Sumbe's tiny airport had been painted pink for the occasion.
Sumbe's dusty suburbs gave way to a beachfront that looked like something out of a jetsetter cigarette advert, with new hotels, bars and restaurants along the palm-lined beach, and a cruise ship out in the bay.

One of the themes addressed was the difference between conflict and violence and, given the 30-year history of violence in the area, understandably some participants did not immediately make a distinction between the two.

We have shown that thin film growth of pi-conjugated materials by seeded supersonic molecular beams (SuMBE) is an effective approach to control structure and morphology.
These are key features to improve control on energy and charge transport properties and hence for the realization of improved devices including optolectronic applications.
In a SuMBE co-deposition scheme we have developed solar cells based on phtalocyanines and fullerenes the performance of which could be optimized by controlling the SuMBE deposition parameters.
