Films made of semiconductor nanocrystals tiny crystals measuring just a few billionths of a meter across are seen as a promising new material for a wide range of applications. Nanocrystals could be used in electronic or photonic circuits, detectors for biomolecules, or the glowing pixels on high-resolution display screens. They also hold promise for more efficient solar cells.
