Abstract:
Blinking occurs with nearly all fluorophores including organic dyes, fluorescent proteins, semiconductor quantum dots and carbon dots (CDs). We developed non-blinking and photoresistant fluorescent CDs by introducing multiple aromatic domains onto a single carbon dot and demonstrated their great potential for imaging and tracking of receptors on a live cell membrane.
