What are quantum dots and how are they being used to study neural cells and the brain? Scientists are looking at this nanotechnology to study cell biology, and someday, perhaps even as new ...

How many dots can you see? Sign Up for ... image of intersecting grey lines against a white background, with 12 black dots on the nodes where ... eye’s stimulated light receptors can sometimes ...

The discovery of quantum dots earned the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2023 because they are used in so many applications. We ...

Intentionally 'squashing' colloidal quantum dots during chemical synthesis creates dots capable of stable, 'blink-free' light emission that is fully comparable with the light produced by dots made ...

The strained dots represent a viable alternative to today’s nanoscale light sources. The dots could lead to advances in single particle nanoscale light sources for use in optical quantum circuits, ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a new technique that uses light to tune the optical properties of quantum dots—making the process faster, more energy-efficient ...

The researchers deployed a special quantum effect called the two-photon spin-exchange Auger process to produce hot electrons far more efficiently than before. This process allows two low-energy ...

Hybrid structures containing semiconductor quantum dots and metal nanoparticles could lead to better light-emitting diodes and new nonlinear photonic devices. That is according to researchers in China ...

On the right is what quantum dot TVs can do, creating specific and tunable red, green, and blue light. Want a deeper red, a QD of a slightly different size can do that, and so on.
