She noticed that bacteria didn't stick to the nanocrystal coatings either.

她注意到细菌也不会粘附在纳米晶体涂层上。

The light could also be tuned to different colours by altering the nanocrystals' characteristics.

通过改变纳米晶体的特性，光也可以被调成不同的颜色。

Applying a coating of copper nanocrystals to the meshes seemed to keep blood cells from sticking to the surfaces.

在网格上涂上一层铜纳米晶似乎可以防止血细胞粘附在网格表面。

An added bonus was that the screens were extremely tough, because of the way the nanocrystals bonded with the glass.

另外一个好处是，由于纳米晶体与玻璃的结合方式，屏幕非常坚硬。

The materials in question are quantum dots, the informal name for chemical structures also known as semiconducting nanocrystals.

所讨论的材料是量子点，这是化学结构的非正式名称， 也称为半导体纳米晶体。

She has already collaborated with a major medical-supply company to prove that the nanocrystals can be cheaply incorporated into manufacturing processes.

她已经与一家大型医疗供应公司合作，证明纳米晶体可以廉价地用于制造过程。

As these nanocrystals are extremely sensitive, and decay rapidly if exposed to moisture in the air, being bound up in the glass protects them.

由于这些纳米晶体极为敏感，如果暴露在湿空气中，会迅速衰败，因此被包裹在玻璃中可以保护它们。

To produce such screens, Dr Hou and his team developed a way to bind tiny " nanocrystals" of lead-halide perovskites into a specially treated synthetic glass composite.

为了制造这种屏幕，侯博士和他的团队开发了一种方法，将微小的卤化铅钙钛矿“纳米晶体”结合到经过特殊处理的合成玻璃复合材料中。

Then a student in her lab had a eureka moment: Why not dip cotton fabric in a solution of the nanocrystals to keep bacteria from sticking to the fabric?

然后，她实验室里的一名学生灵光一闪: 为什么不把棉织物浸入纳米晶体溶液中，以防止细菌粘在织物上？
