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

Quantum dots – nanoparticles of semiconductors – were first theorized in the 1970s and then successfully synthesized in the early 1980s. When semiconductor particles are made small enough, they ...

Nowadays, every major TV brand offers OLED TVs, although recently you may have read about two different types: WRGB (W) OLED ...

The device reportedly achieved the highest power conversion efficiency ever reported for flexible quantum dot solar cells. Quantum dots are tiny particles of semiconductors that can carry a charge ...

Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...

Three US-based scientists won the prize for pioneering quantum dots that were once thought impossible to make The Nobel Prize for chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for their work in ...

A research team has achieved coherent population trapping (CPT) in a semiconductor double quantum dot (DQD) system. CPT is an ...

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 ...
