Argonne scientists have unveiled new methods for controlling material properties. The breakthrough enables researchers to ...

A simple structural tweak has dramatically enhanced the colour clarity and stability of heavy metal-free blue quantum dots.

Quantum dots made of semiconductor materials ... lead and sulfur atoms should arrange themselves in a very ordered lattice, much like alternating red and blue Lego blocks. However, previous ...

Researchers have discovered how to use light to change the arrangement of atoms in quantum dots. This intentional symmetry ...

In their case, the dots are not created by dabbing a paintbrush ... investigated special materials with a triangular crystal lattice (moiré materials made of transition metal dichalcogenides).

What’s new about this is that the dots are precisely arranged to simulate ... model describes a single electron moving along a one-dimensional lattice with staggered tunnel couplings.

One of the tricks that researchers have used for a while now consists in reducing the motional energy of the electrons by artificially creating a crystal lattice with a large lattice constant ...

A dot and cross diagram for sodium chloride suggests that it is made up of pairs of sodium and chloride ions. It is not. A 3D construction model shows how the ions are arranged in a lattice structure.
