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.

This mismatch creates several problems. In QD-LEDs, some electrons pass through the quantum dot layer without encountering a hole, wasting energy. Others recombine inefficiently, releasing heat ...

Using quantum states for processing information has the potential to swiftly address complex problems that are beyond the reach of classical computers. Over the past decades, tremendous progress has ...

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 ...

Now, researchers at Zhejiang University in China have combined these two elements in an innovative way. They created electronic light sensors that use water's molecular properties to enhance the ...

Researchers adopt a new ligand to enhance the efficiency and stability of perovskite quantum dot solar cells. Solar cell efficiency increases to 15.3% by correcting distortions on the surface of ...
