    William W Yu
    Department of Chemistry, Rice University, Houston, TX 77005, USA
    Biochem Biophys Res Commun 348:781-6. 2006
    ..Here, we discuss the recent development in making water-soluble quantum dots and related cytotoxicity for biomedical applications...
  2. ncbi Forming biocompatible and nonaggregated nanocrystals in water using amphiphilic polymers
    William W Yu
    Department of Chemistry, Rice University, Houston, Texas 77005, USA
    J Am Chem Soc 129:2871-9. 2007
    ..In the particular case of semiconductor nanocrystals (e.g., quantum dots), the materials in water have the same optical spectra as well as quantum yield as those formed initially in organic solutions...
