UbiQD plans to scale up manufacturing of its quantum dots that help make greenhouse lighting and solar cells more efficient.

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are tiny semiconductor particles that are just a few nanometers in size, which are synthesized ...

The properties of quantum dots (QDs) are determined by various factors, including size, shape, composition, and structure, such as whether they are solid or hollow. To utilize QDs effectively across ...

A quantum dot is a 20-100-Angstrom, 3-dimensional structure involving 1,000 to 100,000 atoms. This size is interesting because it is smaller than the de Broglie wavelength of a slow electron, and thus ...

Researchers have developed a pioneering, sustainable method for producing cadmium-based quantum dots (QDs) in water using a biocompatible chalcogen source. This fully aqueous, continuous flow process ...

Quantum dots that are small and non-blinking offer new opportunities for dynamic single-molecule imaging in live cells. Fluorescent dyes and proteins have been invaluable for visualizing the ...

Associate Professor Jia said the researchers achieved this by fine-tuning the structure of the quantum dots at an atomic ...

In the past few years, colloidal quantum dots—solution-processed semiconducting nanocrystals—have emerged as an alternative for mainstream consumer electronics. While toxic heavy-metals (like ...

QLED TV manufacturers have dug themselves into a hole. After years of companies promising that their quantum dot light-emitting diode TVs use quantum dots (QDs) to boost color, some industry ...

The applications for quantum dots include medical sensors as well as LCD and OLED display screens (see QLED and QD-OLED). Deposits of quantum dots on solar cell substrates can increase their ...
