For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated how quantum dots can be engineered to consistently generate pairs of entangled photons. By carefully tailoring the photonic environment ...

Researchers have found a clever way to make quantum dots, tiny light-emitting crystals, produce streams of perfectly controlled photons without relying on expensive, complex electronics. By using a ...

Atomic defects can tune carbon quantum dots across UV to near-infrared light, guiding cleaner design of sensors, bioimaging ...

In one sentence: A quantum dot laser is a semiconductor laser whose gain medium contains nanoscale quantum dots that confine electrons and holes in all three dimensions, producing discrete energy ...

Plastic films that can convert UV light into wavelengths that could supercharge crop growth are one potential use for a groundbreaking material produced from perovskite quantum dots (PeQDs).
