Claim:
1. A method for synthesizing luminescent silica particles, the method comprising the steps of: initiating a templating synthesizing reaction configured to synthesize a plurality of nanoporous silica particles, the templating synthesizing reaction including a first template and an acidic or basic catalyst, combined with a second solution comprising water, an organosilicate or sodium silicate as a first silica precursor, and a plurality of luminophore molecules; and stirring a second silica precursor into the templating synthesizing reaction, wherein the second silica precursor is a triethoxysilane, wherein the luminophore molecules are encapsulated within a plurality of pores of said nanoporous silica particles, and further wherein said triethoxysilane prevents leakage of said luminophore molecules from said pores; wherein the the first silica precursor comprises disodium trioxosilicate (Na
