Presented herein are methods for creating nanoparticles, which exhibit desirable electro-luminescent and photo-luminescent capabilities, while retaining the robust inorganic nature. And incorporating the nanoparticles in micron and sub-micron scale structures, via a range of patterning techniques, t...
