Carbon dots have arisen as a potential alternative to traditional quantum dots since they fluoresce but are synthesized from sustainably sourced green chemicals. Herein, fluorescent nitrogen-doped polymeric carbon dots ...

As-synthesized malic acid carbon dots are found to possess photoblinking properties that are outstanding and superior compared to those of conventional dyes. Considering their excellent biocompatibility, malic acid carbon ...

Cadmium-containing luminescent quantum dots (QD) are increasingly used in display, bioimaging, and energy technologies; however, significant concerns have been raised about their potentially adverse impact on human health ...

The article describes the interactions between poly (oxonorbornenes) (PONs)-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with phospholipid vesicles and shows that the strength of these interactions strongly depends on the molecular ...
