Highly fluorescent poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) doped with ZnO quantum dots (QDs) is conveniently generated and used directly for whole‐chip temperature measurements, as described by Hongkai Wu and co‐workers on page 324 . A model is also given to elucidate the temperature sensitivity and extremely high stability of this material by studying the bonding between the QDs and the PDMS.
