What is the Quantum Size Effect? The quantum size effect (QSE) is a phenomenon observed in nanomaterials where their electronic, optical, and magnetic properties deviate from those of the bulk ...

A result based on the size of an object at nanometer scale. For example, the quantum dots used in display screens emit different colors based on their actual size. See quantum dot. THIS DEFINITION ...

Quantum dots are nanoscale semiconductor crystals that exhibit quantum confinement effects. Due to their small size, quantum dots have discrete energy levels, resulting in size-dependent optical and ...

Quantum entanglement, a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, allows particles to remain connected across vast distances. This ...

which implies that the mass (and hence size) of the black hole must reduce when it evaporates. It turns out that the strength of this quantum effect depends on the mass of black holes: small-mass ...

In a new Nature Communications study, scientists have demonstrated the quantum version of the strong Mpemba effect (sME) in a ...

Indeed, quantum dots — semiconductor nanocrystals with diameters in the range 2–10 nm — show size-dependent optical properties due to the effect of quantum confinement. Perhaps the most ...
