Portable Quantum Dot Measurement System
Summary Detecting heavy metals in water is essential to ensure clean drinking water and appropriate regulatory decisions following an accident (e.g., a spill) or an emergency. Traditionally, high-sensitivity detection of heavy metals requires bulky and costly (to purchase and operate) lab-based instruments. We propose developing a palm-sized, element-specific, highly-sensitive, battery-operated, smartphone-controlled system for on-site measurement […]

Quantum Dot Enabled Organic Photo-Transistor
Friday, March 16, 2018 Congratulations to the team Fluorosense for placing 2nd in the Nanotechnology Capstone Project Symposium. The team developed a ‘Quantum Dot Enabled Organic Photo-Transistor’ to improve the responsivity of phototransistor detectors. Their goal was to decrease the concentration of the fluorescent agents required to produce a sufficient optical signal, and thereby […]
