A new quantum algorithm developed by University of Georgia statisticians addresses one of the most complex challenges in ...

Replacing organic solvents with molten salt enables researchers to create “previously unimaginable nanocrystals.” The type of ...

One such promising avenue is thermal energy (electrical) storage (TES) systems, which store electricity as thermal energy by ...

Researchers at Rice University have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, which ...

Chinese researchers have built a perovskite quantum dot solar cell that is reportedly able to reduce trap-assisted charge carrier recombination. The device has an open-circuit voltage of 1.23 V ...

A research team at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the U.S. claims to have developed a quantum dot solar cell without lead or other toxic elements that achieves conversion efficiencies ranging ...

(Image: NASA) Quantum dots have found applications in composites, solar cells (Grätzel cells) and fluorescent biological labels (for example to trace a biological molecule) which use both the small ...

In an article recently published in the Journal of Environmental Friendly Materials, the authors reviewed the recent advances ...

Jiang-Feng Du’s group uses them to gain new understanding of systems that range from molecules within a cell, to exotic quantum systems. Imaging molecules in their natural environment allows ...

Quantum dots that are small and non-blinking offer new opportunities for dynamic single-molecule imaging in live cells. Fluorescent dyes and proteins have been invaluable for visualizing the ...
