What do motion detectors, self-driving cars, chemical analyzers and satellites have in common? They all contain detectors for ...

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 ...

Researchers have successfully created electrically defined quantum dots in zinc oxide (ZnO) heterostructures, marking a ...

This has proven to be particularly challenging for nanoscale systems with many spins that are based on quantum dots (i.e., tiny semiconductor devices). Researchers at Delft University of ...

Researchers are developing new types of detectors for infrared radiation that are more sustainable, flexible and ...

Researchers have successfully created electrically defined quantum dots in zinc oxide (ZnO) heterostructures, marking a significant milestone in the development of quantum technologies. Details of ...

Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...

In a study published in the journal Optical Materials Express titled “Recycling self-assembled colloidal quantum dot ...

Even with so much going for it, Apple hid one of the most exciting developments it made with its new range of laptops — the use of quantum dot technology. Like the last few generations of ...

Creating and controlling quantum dots via electrical methods, is likely to lead to new frontiers in the quest to develop stable and efficient qubits. Exploring how zinc oxide can be used in ...

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 ...
