Iron selenide quantum dots for in vivo multiphoton biomedical imaging

Photoluminescent probes with high biocompatibility, quantum yield and multiphoton absorption performance are of significant interest in biomedical imaging, expected to achieve improved penetration depth and spatial resolution. Iron selenide (FeSe) quantum dots (QDs) are reported to meet these criteria based on a new report published in Science Advances by J. Kwon and a team of researchers in the interdisciplinary departments of Chemistry, Biomaterial Science and Cogno-Mechantronics Engineering in Korea and China. Quantum dots are nanometer-scale luminescent semiconductor crystals with unique chemical and physical properties relative to their structure and composition.
