CQDots in focus
This book delves into the realm of carbon-based nanomaterials with a focus on the rather exotic species known as carbon quantum dots (CQDots).
Stuck monkey syndrome
James Hamilton-Patterson describes our dilemma with the metaphor of the stuck monkey. Hunters allegedly used a banana in an immobilised glass jar as a trap to catch monkeys – once the monkey has grasped the banana inside the jar, it can’t pull out its hand and remains stuck. We, as a global civilisation, can’t let go of the juicy rewards of our economic development, so we are stuck very much the same way as that monkey.
