BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Quantum dots made from cadmium and selenium degrade in soil, unleashing toxic cadmium and selenium ions into their surroundings, a University at Buffalo study has found. The research, ...

A UB research team has invented a new way to synthesize quantum dots—luminescent nanocrystals made from semiconductor material. Sometimes called artificial atoms, quantum dots have the potential to be ...

Awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, quantum dots have a wide variety of applications ranging from displays and LED lights to chemical reaction catalysis and bioimaging. These semiconductor ...

Researchers have developed a pioneering, sustainable method for producing cadmium-based quantum dots (QDs) in water using a biocompatible chalcogen source. This fully aqueous, continuous flow process ...

Quantum dots (QDs) are tiny nanoparticles, just a few ㎚ (nanometers·1 nm is one-billionth of a meter) in size. The most significant feature of quantum dots is that even when made from the same ...
