Interestingly, the researchers are still investigating the reason behind their discovery — they don't yet fully understand why fish scales can be so easily converted into CNOs. What they do know, is that it may have to do with the fact that the collagen contained in fish scales absorbs enough microwave radiation to produce a rapid rise in temperature. This, in turn, leads to thermal decomposition or "pyrolysis". Pyrolysis produces gases that support the assembly of CNOs.
The scientists also note that their method creates CNOs that are selectively and thoroughly functionalized with and groups. One of the benefits of their CNOs' functionalization and high crystallinity is that it lends great optical properties. Associate Professor Takashi Shirai, who worked on the new research, said, "the CNOs exhibit ultra-bright visible-light emission with efficiency of 40 percent.
In the lab, the researchers demonstrated the efficiency of their fish-based CNOs by using them in LEDs and blue-light-emitting thin films. They produced a highly stable emission, they said. “The stable optical properties could enable us to fabricate large-area emissive flexible films and LED devices," explained Dr. Shirai. "These findings will open up new avenues for the development of next-generation displays and solid-state lighting.

Polymer-induced biofilms for enhanced biocatalysisThe intrinsic resilience of biofilms to environmental conditions makes them an attractive platform for biocatalysis, bioremediation, agriculture or consumer health. However, one of the main challenges in these areas is that beneficial bacteria are not necessarily good at biofilm formation. Currently, this problem i
