Crowd‐surfing quantum dots: Quantum‐dot Langmuir layers (see picture) were compressed beyond their collapse pressure, resulting in phase transitions where particles are promoted from a monolayer into a bi‐ or even a trilayer depending on the applied pressure. The procedure works for different quantum dot types and can be rationalized from thermodynamic considerations.
