When light hits solar cells, so-called electron-hole pairs are created: the electrons are excited and can move almost freely ...

In the lab: All experiments were performed in a controlled atmosphere (nitrogen glovebox) because the electronic properties of the quantum dot superlattices are currently very sensitive to oxygen and ...

By using quantum dots and smart encryption protocols, researchers overcame a 40-year barrier in quantum communication, ...

New types of solotronic structures, including the world's first quantum dots containing single cobalt ions, have been created and studied at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw. The ...

Single electrons in quantum dots can be disturbed by the apparatus used to measure them. The disturbance can be mediated by incoherent phonons — literally, noise. Engineering acoustic ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have unveiled Rainbow, a first-of-its-kind multi-robot self-driving laboratory ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) constitute a platform to explore various quantum effects. Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum ...
