Researchers have successfully created electrically defined quantum dots in zinc oxide (ZnO) heterostructures, marking a ...

Researchers have discovered a way to recycle the tiny particles used to create supraparticle lasers, a technology that ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that it is possible to recycle the nanoparticles used to make microscopic ...

Blue lasers, lasers that emit a light beam with a wavelength between 400 nm and 500 nm, are key components of various ...

Semiconductor quantum dots that are engineered to have ... But perhaps most importantly, careful design of the architecture of water-soluble QDs enables the creation of nanobioprobes that are ...

Because current quantum dots are much larger than most soluble biological macromolecules, when they are conjugated to bioaffinity molecules such as antibodies, the nanoparticle can dominate the ...

Semiconductors have a valence band that is filled with electrons and an empty conduction band separated by a band gap (also called energy gap). For an electron to be excited into the conduction ...
