The nanocrystals arrange themselves to form structures familiar from the world of minerals such as perovskites or rock salt. All these structures, however, are 100-times larger than their counterparts in conventional crystals. Such superlattices are potential candidates for use as highly energy-efficient,ultrafast light emitters.
