Abstract

Quantum dots (QD) are semiconductor particles with sizes of a few nm. QD emit light of a specific wavelength when a current is applied or exposed to light. Quantum dot nanocrystals are semiconductor nanomaterials with intrinsic chemical and physical properties. Quantum dots are also being used in place of organic dyes in biological research; for example, they can be used like nanoscopic light bulbs to light up and color specific cells that need to be studied under a microscope. They're also being tested as sensors for chemical and biological warfare agents such as anthrax. Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor particles a few nanometres in size, having optical and electronic properties that differ from larger particles due to quantum mechanics. They are a central topic in nanotechnology. Currently, quantum dots are used for labeling live biological material in vitro and in vivo in animals (other than humans) for research purposes - they can be injected into cells or attached to proteins in order to track, label or identify specific bio molecules.
