Fluorescent Quantum Dots (IMAGE) University of Delaware Caption A University of Delaware research team aims to to change the color of light, by developing new nanostructures that act like a ratchet -- combining the energy of two red photons of light into a single blue photon, which has higher energy. Such an advance could improve solar cell efficiency to chemotherapy treatments. Credit Evan Krape/University of Delaware Usage Restrictions Image must include credit to University of Delaware.
