Quantum dots (QDs) have been enhanced to capture more light and emit brighter fluorescence thanks to silica nanocarrier particles. These carriers allow the creation of dense 3D QD arrays with minimal energy loss, improving light harvesting from lower power sources. This advancement permits more efficient QD displays in devices like laptops, tablets and cell/mobile phones, reducing power consumption for longer use. The versatility of the nanocarriers supports various QD sizes and coatings, broadening application possibilities. Notably, this technology is expanding from diagnostics into displays and lighting, marking a significant leap in QD utility.
