Researchers at National Taiwan University and at Academia Sinica, both in Taipei, have come up with the latest nanofashion accessory: a nanobelt. Built of CdSe, it is strongly photoluminescent, has a high quantum yield and efficiently converts energy into light. As a result, it could have applications in a number of areas, including as an optically or electrically pumped element in displays. Researchers fabricated CdSe nanobelts using catalytic synthesis. The structures are seen here via scanning electron microscopy (a), transmission electron microscopy (b) and two electron microscope...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
