title: Synthesis and characterization of positively capped CdTe quantum wires that exhibit strong luminescence in aqueous media.
abstract: The novelty of the current work lies in the versatile synthesis of highly luminescent water-soluble CdTe quantum rods (QR) which to the best of our knowledge are the first known water-soluble QR carrying positively charged stabilizer.
