Quantum Dots

Quantum dots are nanoscale particles made of a semiconductor material. They are usually between 2 to 10 nanometers in diameter and exhibit unique optical properties, such as light emission and high photoluminescence. This makes them useful for a variety of applications, from displays and lighting to bioimaging and solar cells. Quantum dots have great potential for use in medical imaging and drug delivery, as well as sensing and energy harvesting, due to their size, tunability and high level of optical activity. They may also be used to enhance data storage and processing.
