Quantum Dots

Fluorophores are light-emitting molecules or materials that absorb energy upon excitation at specific wavelengths and emit photons at longer wavelengths. They are widely used in cell imaging, flow cytometry, immunoassays, nucleic-acid quantification, protein–protein interaction analysis, and ...

Solvothermal synthesis represents a versatile technique for the preparation of diverse materials encompassing metals, semiconductors, ceramics, and polymers. This process entails the utilization of a solvent under conditions of moderate to high pressure (ranging typically from 1 atm to 10,000 ...

Quantum computers, while still under development, clearly have the ability to outperform conventional computers. They require more advanced techniques and more cutting-edge quantum theory, with advantages in optimizing computational efficiency and computational power. The key to the future ...

Quantum dots are tiny nanocrystals that glow when stimulated by an external light source, such as ultraviolet light. How many atoms are contained in the dots determines their size, and the size of the dots determines the color of the light emitted.

Perovskite generally refers to a kind of material with similar crystal structure to perovskite, which is composed of perovskite oxide (CaTiO3).

Early screening of cancer is desirable as most tumors are detectable only when they reach a certain size when they contain millions of cells that may already have metastasized.

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor materials at the nanoscale (~2-10 nm). Due to their small size, quantum dots exhibit quantum confinement effects as well as size-dependent electrical and optical properties. Since the discovery of cadmium-based QDs in the 1980s, a variety of cadmium- and ...

Researchers in Australia have developed an algorithm that accurately calculates the size and density of quantum dots needed to boost solar panels to maximum efficiency. Researchers at Monash University in Australia, which is a member of the Australian Research Council's ARC Centre of Excellence ...

After pioneering research into the discovery of graphene, the synthesis of various graphene derivatives has been explored in greater depth.

Nucleic acid therapy, as a prominent, novel and promising therapeutic approach, has potential in the treatment of many genetic diseases such as diabetes.

In gene delivery, vectors are essential in the passage of DNA (hydrophilic, negatively charged) through cell membranes (hydrophobic, negatively charged). In addition, therapeutic efficiency also depends on the efficient delivery of DNA to the target site. Due to the many delivery barriers in the ...
