Researchers from the University of Rochester, together with Kodak has created a nanocrystal that constantly emits light, and does not 'blink'. The findings, detailed online in the journal Nature, may
open the door to dramatically less expensive and more versatile lasers,
brighter LED lighting, and biological markers that track how a drug
interact with a cell at a level never before possible.
The researchers think that one day it'll be possible to 'paint' such nanocrystals on a large surface - creating a flat light source that may one day replace OLEDs.
