Chemists demonstrate nanoscale alloys so bright they could have potential medical applications

Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 12:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Alloys like bronze and steel have been transformational for centuries, yielding top-of-the-line machines necessary for industry. As scientists move toward nanotechnology, however, the focus has shifted toward creating alloys at the nanometer scale -- producing materials with properties unlike their predecessors. Now, new research demonstrates that nanometer-scale alloys possess the ability to emit light so bright they could have potential applications in medicine.
