Quantum dots(QDs)
Quantum dot (QD, nanocrystal, artificial atom) is a fragment of a conductor or semiconductor (for example, InGaAs, CdSe, CdS or GaInP/InP), the charge carriers of which (electrons or holes) are limited in space in all three dimensions. Potential applications of quantum dots include single-electron transistors, solar cells, LEDs, lasers, single photon sources, second harmonic generation, quantum computing, cell biology research, microscopy and medical imaging

Biophysics is the science of physical processes occurring in biological systems at different levels of organization, and of the influence of various physical factors on biological objects. A biophysicist is engaged in research, identifying how living organisms are affected by vibration, acceleration, radiation and other physical factors. Biophysics uses precise experimental methods (spectral, isotope, diffraction, radio spectroscopic) in the study of biological objects

Microgel
The structure and physical characteristics of microgels largely depend on the polymer they are made of. Using N-isopropylacrylamide and polyacrylic acid to synthesize microparticles, it is possible to obtain microgels that are sensitive to temperature and pH. Microgels are micron-sized gels (equal to the size of bacteria, and in some cases even viruses). They can be effective both as antibacterial coatings and as surfaces for tissue regeneration. In this case, isopropylacrylamide provides sensitivity to temperature, and polyacrylic acid provides sensitivity to changes in pH levels.
