By twisting layers of graphene, researchers discovered a unique electronic crystal where electrons freeze in place yet allow ...

This time, the scientists placed graphene quantum dots into a controlled environment. These graphene dots are nanoscale materials made by arranging a single layer of graphene—which, like ...

Liquid-based photodetector leverages water molecules for quantum dot enhancement, offering high sensitivity and ...

"Magnetic graphene nanoribbons -- narrow strips of graphene formed by fused benzene rings -- offers tremendous potential for quantum technologies due to their long spin coherence times and the ...

A research team discovered a quantum state in which electrons move in a completely new way under a twisted graphene structure ...

Scientists from UBC and other institutions discovered topological quantum states in graphene, unlocking new possibilities for quantum computing.

Researchers successfully combined 1,024 silicon quantum dots with cryogenic on-chip electronics, paving the way for scalable ...

Quantum dots – nanoparticles of semiconductors – were first theorized in the 1970s and then successfully synthesized in the early 1980s. When semiconductor particles are made small enough, they ...

Behind them is the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) they use to create and study graphene quantum dots.

Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...
