Whereas the image taken with a normal microscope is blurry (left), the new method (right) clearly shows four quantum dots (bright yellow spots). Credit University of Basel, Department of Physics ...

Colloidal quantum dots are solution-based nanocrystals prized for their unique light-harvesting abilities. They can illuminate, create color, harness solar energy and function as semiconductors. These ...

Quantum dots are nanoscale man-made crystals that have the ability to convert a spectrum of light into different colors. Each dot emits a different color depending on its size. (Image: RNGS ...

The materials with the highest luminescence efficiency include quantum dots (QDs), currently used ... transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, and infrared ...

Now, researchers at Zhejiang University in China have combined these two elements in an innovative way. They created electronic light sensors that use water's molecular properties to enhance the ...

Thomas, Virginia N. Ciriano-Tejel and their colleagues wrote in their paper. "Spin qubits in silicon quantum dots can potentially address these challenges given their control fidelities and ...

Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores ...
