Silicon transistors are held back by a physical limit (the 'Boltzmann tyranny') that prevents transistors from operating below a certain voltage. But now, in an effort to overcome this limit, MIT ...
Colloidal solutions of gallium arsenide quantum dots of the type used in lasers, TVs, solar cells, medical devices, and other electronics glow under UV light. These were grown using a groundbreaking ...
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 ...
