Chemists at the School of Science of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently made ...

The researchers deployed a special quantum effect called the two-photon spin-exchange Auger process to produce hot electrons far more efficiently than before. This process allows two low-energy ...

Scientists have taken a significant step toward quantum communication. Canadian researchers managed to create a pair of perfectly entangled photons, based, among other things, on quantum dot ...

Quantum dots are now a normal part of many consumer items, including televisions. Soeren Stache/picture alliance via Getty Images. Since its earlier days, quantum dot technology has evolved in ...

The development of quantum dots wins the 2023 Nobel prize in chemistry. The nanoparticles can light up TVs as well as the vascular networks of tumors. When exposed to ultraviolet light, ...

Frozen antimatter study to 'alter our understanding' of the universe. Researchers have for the first time slowed down an antimatter atom using lasers to more precisely study this physical phenomena.

Two-dimensional quantum platforms have simulated a process in particle physics called string breaking that generates matter–antimatter pairs. Skip to main content Thank you for visiting nature.com.

But to move these quantum dots into the next generation of screens and semiconductors, we need new techniques to measure efficiency on the quantum scale. When a photon hits a quantum dot, it will ...

The 2023 Nobel prize in chemistry was jointly awarded to Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus, and Alexei Ekimov for the discovery and developments of quantum dots.These nanoparticles are so small that ...

Colloidal quantum dots tuned to SWIR show promise for such sensors since they can be easily integrated into CMOS, but their mass market use has been hampered by the fact that most contain toxic ...

Velasco’s approach creates quantum dots in different forms of graphene using an electrostatic “corral” to confine graphene’s speeding electrons. “Part of what makes this interesting is the fundamental ...

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.
