The squashed dots emit spectrally narrow light with a highly stable intensity and a non-fluctuating emission energy. New research at Los Alamos National Laboratory suggests that the strained colloidal quantum dots represent a viable alternative to presently employed nanoscale light sources, and they deserve exploration as single-particle, nanoscale light sources for optical &#8220;quantum&#8221; circuits, ultrasensitive sensors, and medical diagnostics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intentionally &#8220;squashing&#8221; colloidal quantum dots during chemical synthesis creates dots capable of stable, &#8220;blink-free&#8221; light emission that is fully comparable with the light produced by dots made with more complex processes.
