Journal ArticleDOI
Semiconductor Nanocrystals as Fluorescent Biological Labels
TL;DR: Semiconductor nanocrystals prepared for use as fluorescent probes in biological staining and diagnostics have a narrow, tunable, symmetric emission spectrum and are photochemically stable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid Nanorod-Polymer Solar Cells
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that semiconductor nanorods can be used to fabricate readily processed and efficient hybrid solar cells together with polymers and Tuning the band gap by altering the nanorod radius enabled us to optimize the overlap between the absorption spectrum of the cell and the solar emission spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of hollow nanocrystals through the nanoscale Kirkendall effect
Yadong Yin,Robert M. Rioux,Can K. Erdonmez,Steven Hughes,Gabor A. Somorjai,A. Paul Alivisatos +5 more
TL;DR: A simple extension of the process yielded platinum–cobalt oxide yolk-shell nanostructures, which may serve as nanoscale reactors in catalytic applications, and provides a general route to the synthesis of hollow nanostructureures of a large number of compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of nanocrystals in biological detection
TL;DR: The emerging ability to control the patterns of matter on the nanometer length scale can be expected to lead to entirely new types of biological sensors capable of sensing at the single-molecule level in living cells, and capable of parallel integration for detection of multiple signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organization of 'nanocrystal molecules' using DNA
A. Paul Alivisatos,A. Paul Alivisatos,Kai Johnsson,Xiaogang Peng,Xiaogang Peng,Troy E. Wilson,Colin J. Loweth,Marcel P. Bruchez,Marcel P. Bruchez,Peter G. Schultz +9 more
TL;DR: A strategy for the synthesis of 'nanocrystal molecules', in which discrete numbers of gold nanocrystals are organized into spatially defined structures based on Watson-Crick base-pairing interactions is described.
