Abstract
Nonblinking nanosystems are prepared by layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte deposition, which precisely controls the stoichiometry and the distance between quantum dots (QDs) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Conjugation of biorecognition molecules to these nanobarcodes enables cell targeting and entry with prolonged retention and minimal toxicity.
