Over the past several decades, light sources have gradually transitioned to light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, and inorganic ...

The unique optical properties have been investigated for the tunable fluorescence emission and photostability of semiconductor carbon dots (CDs), and fluorescent ...

Thermal radiation is ubiquitous in nature. Any object with non-zero temperature can emit and absorb thermal radiation. In recent decades, drawing from in-depth studies of nano-optics and breakthroughs ...

Metasurfaces make quantum dot films cooler where they emit more efficiently, turning light-controlled temperature gradients into self-powered electrical signals.

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 ...
