Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain calculations exponentially faster than a classic computer could, but ...

Solid films of colloidal quantum dots show promise in the manufacture of photodetectors and solar cells. These devices require high yields of photogenerated charges and high carrier mobilities, which ...

Physicists in Germany have developed a new method for generating tunable wavelengths, as well as more easily switching back and forth between two wavelengths, employing quantum-dot lasers. The finding ...

It has been a very exciting week in the world of physics. The winners of the 2023 Nobel Prize for Physics were announced on Tuesday and on Wednesday we learned that this year’s chemistry prize has a ...

Hybrid structures containing semiconductor quantum dots and metal nanoparticles could lead to better light-emitting diodes and new nonlinear photonic devices. That is according to researchers in China ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) constitute a platform to explore various quantum effects. Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum ...
