Biocompatible Quantum Dots
Progress in using quantum dots for in vivo imaging: for the first time, a systematic biodistribution study of silica-coated quantum dots is reported.
A Nanotrampoline Study
A one-step process is used to prepare a variety of nanoparticle membranes that exhibit trampoline-like properties.
