Quantum dots, with their discrete electronic states, offer a unique platform for controlling charge and heat transport at the nanoscale. These nanostructures harness quantum confinement and ...

Quantum dots are among the more well-known nanocrystals, not only for their wide commercial uses but for the recent 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry given to the team that discovered them.

Mar 13, 2025 Liquid-state quantum dot lasers enhance heat dissipation for stable high-speed operation (Nanowerk Spotlight) Lasers power modern life, from fiber optic networks that drive internet ...

UbiQD’s core quantum dot tech came out of Los Alamos National Laboratory and MIT. When these tiny dots, just a few nanometers in size, are built into a solar panel’s encapsulant, the dots can ...

To suppress the formation of defects on the surface of PbS quantum dots, a team led by Professor Jongmin Choi proposed a heat treatment involving the exposure of the dots to light for a brief ...

Researchers investigating atomic-scale phenomena impacting next-generation electronic and quantum devices have captured the ...

By supercharging quantum dots, tiny particles thousands of times smaller than a grain of sand, they’ve developed a highly efficient, light-powered tool called a super photoreductant. This tool ...
