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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
