Los puntos cuánticos son nanoestructuras semiconductoras que exhiben propiedades cuánticas, i. e., propiedades dependientes del tamaño. De acuerdo a estos aportes al conocimiento, es que desde mediados de los años 90 estas nanopartículas tienen diversas aplicaciones tecnológicas, tales como en la industria de la electrónica y la óptica, así como en la medicina, producción de sustancias, sensores, conversión de energía, entre otras. Este manuscrito busca dar una mirada general a las propiedades químicas y físicas de los puntos cuánticos, a los aportes de los investigadores galardonados en este campo, y a una experiencia propia en la utilización de estas partículas con fines de sensor de sustancias reactivas.]]></p></abstract>
