Quantum Dot Monolayers
Materials scientists from the USA have made a thin layer of quantum dots on a photonic crystal surface, thereby creating a stable material with enhanced emission properties.
Bottom-Up Meets Top-Down for Simple Surface Stripes
A simple way to create very small patterns on a surface by using a mixture of top-down and bottom-up technology has been developed. Self-assembly is combined with evaporation to make highly ordered nanoscale structures.
