Photographs can reveal things that are otherwise impossible for the naked eye to see, be they distant galaxies or microscopic ...

Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals distinguished by size-dependent emission wavelengths, high brightness and exceptional photostability. Their broad absorption spectra coupled with narrow, ...

In an unlikely marriage of quantum physics and neuroscience, tiny particles called quantum dots have been used to control brain cells for the first time. Having such control over the brain could one ...

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 ...

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 ...
