Excitons—bound pairs of electrons and an electron hole—are quasiparticles that can arise in solids. While so-called "bright" ...

Chemists at the School of Science of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently made ...

This study points to the potential of a new method of quantum dot synthesis. Essentially, by squeezing, this method creates quantum dots that produce highly stable light. Also, this method could offer ...

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 ...

By Christian Edwards, Katie Hunt and Ed Upright, CNN (CNN) — The 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to a trio of scientists who worked to discover and develop quantum dots, used in ...

Compact ruddy galaxies seen by the James Webb telescope confound astronomers. Having very little spin at birth may explain the galaxies’ small sizes.

Liquid-based photodetector leverages water molecules for quantum dot enhancement, offering high sensitivity and wavelength-specific customization for optical and medical applications.

Connecting the dots in the sky could shed new light on dark matter Date: January 13, 2020 Source: DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Summary: Astrophysicists have come a step closer to ...

Scientists with the University of Chicago have demonstrated a way to create infrared light using colloidal quantum dots. The researchers said the method demonstrates great promise; the dots are ...

This occurs because the eye’s stimulated light receptors can sometimes influence the ones next to them, creating illusions. There are twelve black dots at the intersections in this image.

The new illusion looks simple, showing intersecting grey lines on a white background. But looking closely starts it moving – and though there are actually 12 black dots in it, it’s only ...
