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 ...

Colloidal quantum dots are solution-based nanocrystals prized for their unique light-harvesting abilities. They can illuminate, create color, harness solar energy and function as semiconductors. These ...

The short answer, though, is that a QLED is an LED-LCD TV with a layer of quantum dots built in. When activated by LED ...

The crucial development of RGB backlit TVs is that the backlight behind the pixels can now show a wide range of colors, ...

Scientists have harnessed many-body physics to transform quantum dots into scalable, stable quantum nodes. By entangling ...

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

Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor ... Here, the authors show that the study of coherent acoustic phonons can explain this behavior in Cu-doped colloidal quantum wells.

Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores ...

In an advance for quantum technologies, researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, have created a ...

Unlike pure organic radical pairs featuring a pair of electrons with similar Landé g-factors and thus a small Δg (0.001–0.01), the large Δg (0.1–1) of the hybrid radical pairs, along with ...

You can make carbon dots from waste materials, then use them for removing pollutants — they’re a way to make the process come full circle,” he explained. Quantum mechanics concepts regulate ...

In a groundbreaking achievement for quantum technologies, researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, have created a functional quantum register using the atoms inside a ...
