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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Arizona-based First Solar has signed an agreement with quantum dot nanotechnology developer UbiQD (“ubiquity”) to bring quantum dots (QD) into its thin film bifacial solar panels. The multi-year deal ...

Robotic laboratories driven by artificial intelligence algorithms could speed up materials discovery. Researchers have developed a self-driving lab (not shown in the picture) that synthesizes quantum ...

Researchers created a machine vision sensor that uses quantum dots to adapt to extreme changes in light far faster than the human eye can. (Nanowerk News) In blinding bright light or pitch-black dark, ...

Researchers have developed a pioneering, sustainable method for producing cadmium-based quantum dots (QDs) in water using a biocompatible chalcogen source. This fully aqueous, continuous flow process ...

QLED TV manufacturers have dug themselves into a hole. After years of companies promising that their quantum dot light-emitting diode TVs use quantum dots (QDs) to boost color, some industry watchers ...

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 ...
