Abstract
Provided are methods for making quantum nanostructures based on use of a combination of nucleation and growth precursors. The methods can be used to provide quantum nanostructures of a selected size. Also provided are quantum nanostructures, compositions comprising the quantum nanostructures, and uses of the quantum nanostructures. The quantum nanostructures can be used, for example, in imaging applications.
