"superlattice of lead sulfide semiconducting colloidal quantum dots behave like metal... brighter, use less energy... individual quantum dots attach together directly, "epitaxially," without ligands with facets precisely oriented... million times more conductive... improve efficiency energy conversion, biological imaging, fluorescent probes, electronic displays, and quantum computing"
