Nanocrystal ‘factory’ could revolutionize quantum dot manufacturing
A multidisciplinary team of NC State researchers has developed a microfluidic system for synthesizing perovskite quantum dots across the entire spectrum of visible light. The system drastically reduces manufacturing costs, can be tuned on demand to any color and allows for real-time process monitoring to ensure quality control.
