Stable green light-emitting quantum dots (QDs) are necessary for applications ranging from display technologies to bioimaging. Random, temporary fluctuations in emission known as “blinking,� and the complete lack of emission known as “photobleaching,� are some of the undesirable instabilities researchers looking to eliminate.
