This year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three different scientists who advanced the development of quantum dots – nanoscale particles that exhibit unusual characteristics thanks to their diminutive size.Continue ReadingCategory: Scienc… Continue reading 2023 Chemistry Nobel grants big honor to explorers of the super-small
Move over, quantum dots – quantum rods could be the next big display technology. These tiny sticks could improve 3D displays for VR headsets, and now engineers at MIT have overcome a logistical hurdle by arranging them onto a scaffold made of DNA.Conti… Continue reading Quantum rods on DNA scaffolds could boost future VR displays
Engineers in Sydney have demonstrated a quantum integrated circuit made up of just a few atoms. By precisely controlling the quantum states of the atoms, the new processor can simulate the structure and properties of molecules in a way that could unloc… Continue reading Atomic-scale quantum circuit marks major quantum computer breakthrough
Quantum computers could one day outperform traditional machines at many types of tasks, but hurdles remain. Now, physicists in Japan have successfully entangled groups of three silicon quantum dots for the first time, in a breakthrough that could help … Continue reading Triple entanglement in silicon marks major quantum computer breakthrough
It wasn’t all that long ago that TVs came in just one flavor – CRT, or cathode ray tubes. These bulky units were superseded by flat screen plasmas and LCDs, with LCD winning that particular battle despite plasma being capable of producing a superior pi… Continue reading LG boosts backlighting precision with new QNED Mini LED TV
Among their many uses, quantum dots have shown promise as photovoltaic materials in solar cells. Now, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have developed a new type of quantum dot solar cell that isn’t made with the toxic elements found… Continue reading Scientists give quantum dot solar cells a detox
