Effective non-invasive control of neural activity can be achieved with optically excitable quantum dots, tiny semiconductor particles nanometers across.
A localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor-based analytical platform can be used to study the chemistry of individual catalyst nanoparticles under industrial conditions.
Liquid inks made of quantum dots show promise for a number of uses, including biological fluorescent markers, precursor inks for roll-to-roll solar cells, and now IR detection.
Gold (I) and (III)-precursor-doped silica matrices enable fast direct writing of reproducible nanoparticle arrays in 2D or 3D depending on the wavelength of the laser used.
