A graphical representation of the type of X-ray imaging setup that could employ the new colloidal quantum shell-based scintillation technology. Scintillators are detectors that make high-energy X-rays ...

Core/shell quantum dots represent a class of semiconductor nanocrystals in which a core material is overcoated by a shell of a wider-band-gap semiconductor. This heterostructuring serves to passivate ...

(Nanowerk News) Scintillators are detectors that make high-energy X-rays or particles visible through flashes of light to form an image. Their many applications include particle physics, medical ...
