This first series of images comes from work just submitted for presentation to the March 2005 ACS National Meeting in San Diego on luminescence from PbS nanoparticles, and potential moisture-sensing applications thanks to their highly quantum-confined behavior, with Steven W. Buckner, Robert Konold, Paul A. Jelliss, and Marguerite N. Germain in Chemistry at Saint Louis University.
