Rosenthal’s work featured in Scilight “Shell properties play an important role in the stability of green quantum dots”
Stable green light-emitting quantum dots (QDs) are necessary for applications ranging from display technologies to bioimaging. Random, temporary fluctuations in emission known as “blinking,” and the complete lack of emission known as “photobleaching,” are some of the undesirable instabilities researchers looking to eliminate.
