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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that uses light to tune the optical properties of quantum dots – making the ...

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 ...

Quantum dots are widely used for their ability to emit single photons at specific wavelengths. These photons are created by ...

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 ...

In my experience, however, improvements caused by better quantum dots are much less evident than those caused by other image quality factors (see below). Other TV makers also use quantum dots in ...

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 ...

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 ...
