In nature, tiny crystals known as nanocrystals are formed slowly over many years. Rocks and minerals react with air, water, and carbon dioxide in a process called chemical weathering. These reactions ...

Devices that can confine individual electrons are potential building blocks for quantum information systems. But the electrons must be protected from external disturbances. RIKEN researchers have now ...

Super quantum dots might be the next big (OK, little) thing in TVs. At least, that's what companies such as TCL want you to believe. While "regular" quantum dots have greatly improved the performance ...

In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than it sounds. Memory storage, information processing, and energy use in these ...

A manufacturing technology to create quantum dots, a key quantum material, in desired structures and sizes on a substrate is showing promising results in South Korea. The developed technology is expec ...

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals that exhibit unique optical characteristics due to quantum confinement effects, which result in discrete electronic states and size-tunable emission ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough in quantum dot technology, significantly raising this technology's ability to convert light into energy or chemical products. “Our work demonstrates how purely ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has developed stable and efficient chalcogenide-based photoelectrodes, addressing a ...

Green Science Alliance has added a surprising new entry to the list of materials derived from plastic waste — quantum dots. The Japanese advanced materials startup announced the breakthrough this week ...

While quantum computers continue to slowly grind towards usefulness, some are pursuing a different approach—analog quantum ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...
