How quantum dots can 'talk' to each other Date: June 3, 2021 Source: Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie Summary: A group has worked out theoretically how the communication ...

First Solar teams with UbiQD to bring quantum dots to solar panels, aiming for big efficiency gains and US manufacturing ...

Excitons—bound pairs of electrons and an electron hole—are quasiparticles that can arise in solids. While so-called "bright" ...

Many of the best TVs are QLED or QD-OLED TVs that use quantum dots to enhance their brightness and color saturation, and it feels like you can't look at a selection of TVs on the wall at Best Buy ...

Quantum dots, which are nanoscale semiconductor particles, are highly efficient light emitters capable of emitting light at precise wavelengths. This makes them widely used in applications such as ...

The research was done by Pascal Krause and Annika Bande at the Helmholtz Centre for Materials and Energy in Germany and Jean Christophe Tremblay at CNRS and the University of Lorraine in France, who ...

Quantum-dot lasers (SN: 11/23/96, p. 327) and extremely sensitive photodetectors have also started to appear. Another use of dots is attracting interest: generation of electricity from solar energy.

Once thought impossible to make, quantum dots have become a common component in computer monitors, TV screens, and LED lamps, among other uses. Three of the scientists who pioneered these colorful ...

And since quantum dots are making it into less expensive TVs, it’s a sign that TVs without quantum dots are going to be pretty cheap and generally won’t have great picture quality.

The 2023 Nobel Prize for chemistry isn’t the first Nobel awarded for research in nanotechnology.But it is perhaps the most colorful application of the technology to be associated with the accolade.
