Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of individual photons and, ideally, pairs of entangled photons. Semiconductor ...

Researchers decoded the synthesis mechanism of heavy-metal-free CuInS2 quantum dots and built a photoelectrochemical device ...

A research team in China has built a quantum dot device that produces photon pairs with record-setting purity, achieving a two-photon fraction of 0.983(1). The work, published in Nature Materials, ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

Graphene has a wide range of applications, but due to its zero-band gap property, low dispersibility in water and low spectral absorption, it cannot be used in many areas, including optoelectronics, ...

To accurately diagnose and treat diseases, doctors and researchers need to see inside bodies. Medical imaging tools have come a long way since the humble x-ray, but most existing tools remain too ...

Quantum science, cellular biology and high-def TVs come together in new biosensors. (Nanowerk News) Putting hypersensitive quantum sensors in a living cell is a promising path for tracking cell growth ...

Quantum dots are normally made in industrial settings with high temperatures and toxic, expensive solvents -- a process that is neither economical nor environmentally friendly. But researchers have ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize for chemistry isn’t the first Nobel awarded for research in nanotechnology. But it is perhaps the most colorful application of the technology to be associated with the accolade.

In a new paper, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering researchers, including Asst. Prof. Peter Maurer (left) and first author and PhD candidate Uri Zvi (right), and their ...
