Scientists prevent quantum dots from "blinking"

Quantum dots can be made to emit single photons more efficiently and reliably by using a new method to suppress quantum dot "blinking". A US research team has found a way to reduce quantum dot (QD) "blinking" by a factor of 100, and in doing so has also increased the photon emission rate by four to five times. This could make QDs more sensitive as fluorescent tags in biomedical tests and single-molecule studies.
