Bawendi, now the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry in October for his pioneering work in producing quantum ...

Further research will allow us to control luminescence more effectively, leading to advances in areas such as nano-optical ...

Cornell scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted ...

RIT chemical engineering researcher contributes to new technique to manipulate light to improve applications for sensors, ...

Quantum dots are promising candidates for single-photon sources, quantum memories, and quantum sensors. Nanophotonic waveguides are structures that can guide and confine light at the nanoscale, ...

Quantum computers have the potential of outperforming classical computers on some optimization tasks. Yet scaling up quantum ...

Colloidal quantum dots are often referred to as artificial atoms, primarily because of their atom-like electron energy spectrum. Like atoms, they can form ordered structures that are commonly ...

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 ...

and compact optical sensors. The study indicates possibilities for applying the technology to polymers, perovskites, quantum dots and other materials and thus transferring the new filter principle ...

Behind them is the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) they use to create and study graphene quantum dots.
