"making these previously inaccessible materials accessible for colloidal synthesis.... overcomes researchers assumption with small crytals salt’s positively/ negatively charged ions would be too weak to push back as salt’s ions pull in, that any growing crystals would be crushed before they could stabilize... unlockex ability to synthesize nearly dozen new nanocrystal compositions which will enable future technologies... lasers, quantum QLED, solar cells, medical devices faster quantum/ classical computers"
