Nano-quantum dots are expected to bring biomedical breakthroughs

The Moscow State University of Engineering, Moscow State University, Russia, is studying the application of quantum dots in the field of biomedicine.

Quantum dots (also known as "artificial atoms") are semiconductor crystals that are very small in size and are also a type of nanoparticle. The main obstacle to their introduction into the human body is that they are toxic to living cells. Russian scientists keep these particles at a size of 2.5 nanometers to 5 nanometers so they can be excreted from the body by nearly 100%.

Currently, the team is developing a drug delivery vehicle program that includes drug-loaded microcapsules. There are magnetic silver nanoparticles and radioactive fluorescent quantum dots on the wall of the capsule. Such quantum dot capsules emit light, allowing researchers to document their location and using magnets to control the particles, moving the entire capsule to the site of the tumor. With varying magnetic fields or ultrasound, you can make it hot and open when they reach the target.

The team plans to begin production in 2019 with a full lineup of devices that can detect more pathogens at the same time and will be able to determine a range of infections based on just one air sample.
