  Chicago IL (SPX) May 24, 2017 Nanocrystals have diverse applications spanning biomedical imaging, light-emitting devices, and consumer electronics. Their unique optical properties result from the type of crystal from which they are composed. However, a major bottleneck in the development of nanocrystals, to date, is the need for X-ray techniques to determine the crystal type. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a novel way to determine crystal type based on optics - by identifying the u ... read more |
