The type of semiconductive nanocrystals known as quantum dots are both expanding the forefront of pure science and also hard ...

In collaboration with Nagoya University, Fujihira and his colleagues have developed a new type of quantum dot product by combining semiconductor compounds. Importantly, the dots are free of highly ...

Semiconductors have a valence band that is filled with electrons and an empty conduction band separated by a band gap (also called energy gap). For an electron to be excited into the conduction ...

A new technique for growing quantum dots has not only found a new, more efficient way to build a useful type of quantum dot, but also opened up a whole group of novel chemical materials for future ...

Colloidal solutions of gallium arsenide quantum dots of the type used in lasers, TVs, solar cells, medical devices, and other ...

Acronyms like QLED, OLED, and QD-OLED can make buying a new TV confusing. Here's your guide to major TV tech, to help you get ...

May 18, 2020 — Novel quantum dot solar cells match the efficiency of existing quantum-dot based devices, but without lead or other toxic elements that most solar cells of this type rely ...

In a paper published in the journal Pharmaceuticals, researchers developed metformin carbon quantum dots (MetCQDs) to improve ...

Researchers from the University of Chicago, University of California Berkeley, Northwestern University, the University of ...

which the scientists said is the highest ever reported for all types of flexible quantum dot solar cells to date. They found the cell was also able to retain around 94% of its initial efficiency ...
