The clusters provide a platform for developing new catalytic properties that extend beyond what traditional materials can offer. • Email to a friend • There are many things quantum dots could do, but the most obvious place they could change our lives is to make the colours on our TVs and screens more pristine. • Email to a friend • Researchers summarize the recent progress in the application of rare earth-doped nanoparticles in the field of bio-imaging and tumor treatment and discuss the luminescent mechanism, properties, and structure design. • Email to a friend • |
