Making quantum dots glow brighter Date: September 16, 2014 Source: American Institute of Physics (AIP) Summary: Researchers have found a new way to control the properties of quantum dots, those ...

A key property of quantum dots that makes them so useful is their fluorescence. Scientists can “tune” quantum dots to emit a specific color of light by adjusting their size: for example, small dots ...

In daylight, the experimental silkworms appeared pink, but under ultraviolet light, they had a bright red glow. Liu et.al., 2022 In a new study, silkworms were fed nanoscale crystals called ...
