In the past few years, colloidal quantum dots—solution-processed semiconducting nanocrystals—have emerged as an alternative for mainstream consumer electronics. While toxic heavy-metals (like ...

Researchers developed a carbon quantum dot-based sensor for nitrofen detection in water, offering a sensitive and selective ...

Quantum dots enable researchers to study cell processes at the level of a single molecule and may significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancers. QDs are either used as ...

Quantum dots that are small and non-blinking offer new opportunities for dynamic single-molecule imaging in live cells. Fluorescent dyes and proteins have been invaluable for visualizing the ...

The sensor is based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-doped lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots (QDs), which offer enhanced sensitivity and stability. The research aims to demonstrate the effectiveness ...

The research team used a low-temperature injection and high-temperature growth method and synthesised bright green-emissive ...

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 ...

The use of carbon quantum dots in wound healing accelerates recovery, leveraging their unique properties for effective ...

A sensor that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to detect minuscule changes in motion and electromagnetic fields. Exploiting the energy levels in atoms, quantum sensors are expected to ...
