Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...
Colloidal solutions of gallium arsenide quantum dots of the type used in lasers, TVs, solar cells, medical devices, and other electronics glow under UV light. These were grown using a groundbreaking ...
A new technique for growing quantum dots has not only found a new, more efficient way to build a useful type of quantum dot, but also opened up a whole group of novel chemical materials for future ...
