A new green synthesis method uses laser ablation of bay leaves in PBS to create fluorescent carbon dots with stable blue ...

Chemists have fashioned tiny dots of carbon that glow in response to light. The nanoparticles may find uses in biological imaging as alternatives to quantum dots, fluorescent spheres of ...

The broad excitation spectra of semiconductor quantum dots and their larger size make them more difficult to use in FRET-based research, Dickson noted. By using poly-amidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers ...
