Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...

Among these materials, quantum dots are attracting particular attention due to their unique properties and wide range of applications. A team of researchers from ULiège has recently made a significant ...

(Nanowerk News) A recent research study (Advanced Healthcare Materials, "Smart Polymeric 3D Microscaffolds Hosting Spheroids for Neuronal Research via Quantum Metrology") from INL has successfully ...

In the past few years, colloidal quantum dots – solution-processed semiconducting nanocrystals – have emerged as an alternative for mainstream consumer electronics. While toxic heavy-metals, such as ...

Useful quantum networks are hobbled by the problem of decoherence from environmental "noise." But a new breakthrough could change that.

Existing methods for entangling photons often suffer from inefficiencies, however, requiring additional particles such as atoms or quantum dots and additional steps such as post-selection that ...

With real-time, remote signal assessment via smartphones, clinicians can continuously monitor wound status and provide timely treatment. Scientists have recently developed PEI-EDTA-2Na carbon quantum ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency unveiled the first set of tech companies selected to participate in its Quantum Benchmarking Initiative as the U.S. government continues to ...

It was last spring that Murphy memorably declared Turang would take a “quantum leap” in his sophomore campaign, then he went out and won the National League’s Platinum Glove. After all of ...
