Core/shell quantum dots represent a class of semiconductor nanocrystals in which a core material is overcoated by a shell of a wider-band-gap semiconductor. This heterostructuring serves to passivate ...

Putting hypersensitive quantum sensors in a living cell is a promising path for tracking cell growth and diagnosing diseases—even cancers—in their early stages. Many of the best, most powerful quantum ...

Structural deformation modifies the bandgap, exciton fine structure and phonon energy of semiconductors, providing an additional knob to control their optical properties. The impact can be exploited ...

Scintillators are detectors that make high-energy X-rays or particles visible through flashes of light to form an image. Their many applications include particle physics, medical imaging, X-ray ...

A graphical representation of the type of X-ray imaging setup that could employ the new colloidal quantum shell-based scintillation technology. Scintillators are detectors that make high-energy X-rays ...
