All aglow : Multicolored fluorescent quantum‐dot (QD)‐decorated silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are easily prepared by a one‐pot microwave‐assisted synthesis. The as‐prepared SiNWs are highly luminescent (see picture, left) and are well‐suited to long‐term immunofluorescent cellular imaging (see stability comparison, right).
