Abstract
The overview paper in this special issue deals with the unique optical properties and biofunctionalization of quantum dots (QDs), and their use in biosensing and in vivo imaging. The remaining eight papers cover the synthesis and applications of QDs and, in four cases, QD-derived or non-QD nanostructures.
