Quantum dot-based theranostics

Quantum dot-based theranostics.

Luminescent semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots (QDs), have advanced the fields of molecular diagnostics and nanotherapeutics. Much of the initial progress for QDs in biology and medicine has focused on developing new biosensing formats to push the limit of detection sensitivity. Nevertheless, QDs can be more than passive bio-probes or labels for biological imaging and cellul...

Quantum-dot based photonic quantum networks

Quantumdots (QDs) embedded in photonic nanostructures have in recent years proven to be a very powerful solid-state platform for quantumoptics experiments. The combination of near-unity radiative coupling of a singleQD to a photonicmode and the ability to eliminate decoherence processes imply that an unprecedent light–matter interface can be obtained. As a result, highcooperativity photon-emitt...

Hyaluronic Acid Conjugated Magnetic Prussian Blue@Quantum Dot Nanoparticles for Cancer Theranostics

A multifunctional nanotheranostic agent was developed by conjugating both hyaluronic acid and bovine serum albumin coated CuInS2-ZnS quantum dots onto the surface of magnetic Prussian blue nanoparticles. The obtained nanoagent could serve as an efficient contrast agent to simultaneously enhance near infrared (NIR) fluorescence and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging greatly. The coexistence of magn...

Exploring and Exploiting Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata

The Full Adders (FAs) constitute the essential elements of digital systems, in a sense that they affect the circuit parameters of such systems. With respect to the MOSFET restrictions, its replacement by new devices and technologies is inevitable. QCA is one of the accomplishments in nanotechnology nominated as the candidate for MOSFET replacement. In this article 4 new layouts are presente...
