The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) constitute a platform to explore various quantum effects. Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum ...

Quantum confinement is a physical effect that occurs when the size of a material—usually a semiconductor or conductor—is reduced to the nanoscale, thereby restricting the movement of electrons or ...

Researchers demonstrate orbital hybridization in graphene-based quantum dots, revealing how anisotropic confinement influences electronic states at the atomic scale. Quantum dots, often described as ...

The light reaching Earth has a variety of frequencies, some of which are visible to us and others that are not. Of these frequencies, shortwave infrared (SWIR) stands out for its unique properties ...

Newly achieved precise control over light emitted from incredibly tiny sources, a few nanometers in size, embedded in two-dimensional materials could lead to remarkably high-resolution monitors and ...

Ferroelectric quantum dots enable phototransistors that adapt to low light and store visual memory, supporting motion recognition and in-sensor learning in neuromorphic systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
