Bawendi, now the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry in October for his pioneering work in producing quantum ...

Scientists still are working on finding efficient and universal methods for the synthesis of GQDs with high stability, controllable surface properties, and tunable PL emission wavelength. Luminescent ...

Sanjiv Gambhir and colleagues from the Molecular Imaging and Bio-X Program for interdisciplinary research at Stanford describe the synthesis and the use of bioluminescent quantum dots for in vivo ...

Scientists from China have developed high-performance colloidal quantum-dot (CQD)  surface-emitting laser array based on ...

This is due to quantum effects, hence the name "quantum dots." For the discovery and synthesis of these fascinating tiny particles, Moungi Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexey Ekimov were awarded the ...

This evolution of synthesis optimizes chemical yields and saves energy," Camargo says. More information: P. F. G. M. da Costa et al, Real-time monitoring of CdTe quantum dots growth in aqueous ...

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 ...

Quantum dots are widely used in applications such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, and biological imaging. Chemical synthesis involves the reaction of precursor materials in solution to ...
