Another big category of optical nanomaterials-quantum dots (QD), has also been applied in optogenetics

As part of my talk, I also highlighted one example of how the combination of the blockchain and nanotechnology can be applied to a particularly challenging aspect of the supply chain management, namely the huge global criminal marketplace in counterfeit goods. This as we know really hurts business profits, impacts brand trust and undermines customer relationships. The counterfeit market alone is a trillion-dollar global business and something that a more secure digital asset can potentially eradicate using nanotechnology-based quantum dots as the foundations of any transaction of a physical asset or digital asset. This is even more fool proof than a DNA fingerprint.
