Scientists esearchers mapped the metal-amide chemistry that controls heavy-pnictogen reduction, enabling reproducible and scalable III-V infrared quantum dots. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at ...

Quantum dots are microscopic semiconductor crystals developed in the lab that share many properties with atoms, including the ability to absorb or emit light, a technology that Los Alamos researchers ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have unveiled Rainbow, a first-of-its-kind multi-robot self-driving laboratory that autonomously discovers high-performance quantum dots – semiconductor ...

Imagine a Pt-Ni nanoparticle that can split water into hydrogen and oxygen with remarkable efficiency, or a perovskite quantum dot that emits bright light with minimal energy loss. For such ...

In one sentence: A quantum dot laser is a semiconductor laser whose gain medium contains nanoscale quantum dots that confine electrons and holes in all three dimensions, producing discrete energy ...

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 ...

Toxic metals are pushing infrared detector makers into a corner, but NYU Tandon researchers have developed a cleaner solution using colloidal quantum dots. These detectors are made like “inks,” ...
