The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

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 ...

Researchers have found a clever way to make quantum dots, tiny light-emitting crystals, produce streams of perfectly controlled photons without relying on expensive, complex electronics. By using a ...

Chemists develop a quantum dot system that uses 99% less energy to drive tough organic reactions, offering a leap forward in visible-light photocatalysis. Quantum dots (QDs) hold great promise as ...

A research team led by Professor Sun Qing-Feng in collaboration with Professor He Lin's research group from Beijing Normal University has achieved orbital hybridization in graphene-based artificial ...

Manufacturers of infrared cameras face a growing problem: The toxic heavy metals in today's infrared detectors are increasingly banned under environmental regulations, forcing companies to choose ...

Quantum dots measure just a few nanometers in size. That’s 10,000 times thinner than a human hair. Often described as man-made atoms, these nanocrystals have been illuminating television screens for a ...
