Molten Salt Quantum Dots

Caption

Colloidal solutions of gallium arsenide quantum dots of the type used in lasers, TVs, solar cells, medical devices, and other electronics glow under UV light. These were grown using a groundbreaking technique developed by UChicago’s Talapin Lab, a technique that opens a new world of materials for researchers growing nanocrystals.
