Colloidal quantum dots are often capped with long aliphatic chains anchored to the surface with coordinating head groups. This organic ligand shell prevents quantum dots from fusing, enables colloidal stability in nonpolar solvents, and eliminates trap states that prevent radiative recombination…

It is well established that access to undergraduate research experiences is critical for retaining students pursuing STEM careers. In many cases there are not enough traditional undergraduate research opportunities to accommodate all interested students…
