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 ...

Quantum dot research won three scientists the Nobel Prize in chemistry. A quantum dot is a tiny particle that changes color based on its size. Quantum dots are used in LED lights and television ...

Researchers in Australia have unveiled the largest quantum simulation platform built to date, opening a new route to exploring the complex behavior of quantum materials at unprecedented scales.

Devices that can confine individual electrons are potential building blocks for quantum information systems. But the electrons must be protected from external disturbances. RIKEN researchers have now ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was focused on quantum dots -- objects so tiny, they're controlled by the strange rules of quantum physics. Quantum dots used in electronics are often toxic, but ...

Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain calculations exponentially faster than a classic computer could, but more research is desperately needed to make their practical use a reality.

Plastic films that can convert UV light into wavelengths that could supercharge crop growth are one potential use for a groundbreaking material produced from perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs).

Super quantum dots might be the next big (OK, little) thing in TVs. At least, that's what companies such as TCL want you to believe. While "regular" quantum dots have greatly improved the performance ...

Shortwave infrared light (SWIR) sensors are desirable in a broad range of applications, particularly in the service robotics, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. Colloidal quantum dots tuned ...
