Swamp Fox note: Michael Bolick founded Selah Technologies after seeing carbon dot technology invented at Clemson at InnoVenture 2006. This is a terrific example of the type of collabotation we need for South Carolina to be successful. Congratulations to everyone involved in this story which keeps getting better and better. You can see a video of Selah Technologies presentation at InnoVenture 2008 here. (You'll need to Join the Community by putting a profile online.)

A startup company trying to commercialize nanotechnology invented at Clemson University has turned to the University of South Carolina for help.

Selah Technologies LLC and USC’s Nanocenter said Monday they’re working together to investigate the possible use of one of Selah’s advanced materials in cancer detection.
The startup company’s advanced materials — called carbon-based quantum dots and carbon single-walled nanotubes — were discovered by Clemson chemistry professor Ya-Ping Sun.
Two-year-old Selah has a deal with Clemson to manufacture the materials in black powder form and market them as a specialty chemical to various industries. Earlier this month, Selah announced a deal with Osram Sylvania Inc., the maker of Sylvania light bulbs, to explore use of its materials in the lighting industry.
