QDs Up Display Color, Brightness with Less Power
May 5, 2014 — Want a brighter, more colorful display that uses less power? Quantum dots may be the answer. After 25 years of research and development, quantum dots – man-made semiconducting crystals so tiny they are invisible to the naked eye – are ready for their close-up. Quantum dots (QDs) could be the next big thing in display technology, allowing screens to display brighter, more realistically vivid colors but without draining battery life, recent research suggests. Quantum dots
Plasmonic Probes Help Quantify Breast Cancer Gene Segments
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 25, 2014 — Hyperspectral imaging using plasmonic probes can ferret out a specific genetic telltale for breast cancer within individual cells, according to recent research from Purdue University. That genetic telltale is BRCA1, a tumor suppressor gene....
