Jan 21, 2025: Water-powered quantum dots enhance light detection with tunable performance (Nanowerk Spotlight) Water molecules make up the essence of life on Earth, playing a crucial role in countless ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Colloidal quantum dots are tiny crystals—you could fit a billion into the period at the end of this sentence—that emit different colors of light depending on how big you make them. They’re very ...
