Working in the laboratory, the team tested two kinds of quantum dots: Cadmium selenide quantum dots, and cadmium-selenide quantum dots with a protective, zinc-sulfide shell. Though the shelled quantum ...

Small cadmium selenide crystals would immediately form but then stop because the injection cooled the solvent. Then Bawendi would increase the solvent temperature so that the crystals started ...

With cadmium selenide quantum dots, for example, they could create sensors that react particularly strongly to specific colors of light. This tunability could prove valuable in applications like ...

Customers now have easy access to a series of quantum dots like CdTe quantum dots, Oil-soluble perovskite quantum dots, Red all-inorganic colloidal perovskites quantum dots, Water-soluble CdTe QDs, ...

He shared the prize with Russian-born American physicist Aleksey Yekimov and American physical chemist Louis Brus. In 1993, Bawendi and his collaborators concentrated on forming high-quality cadmium ...

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 ...
