Quantum Dots: The future of nanotechnology

Quantum dots, tiny semiconductor particles that are only a few nanometers in size, have the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries, from solar energy to medical imaging. These nanoparticles exhibit unique properties due to their small size and the quantum confinement effect, which allows them to emit light of specific wavelengths when excited. This tunable light emission, along with their other extraordinary characteristics, has garnered significant attention from researchers and businesses alike, who are eager to explore the myriad of applications that quantum dots could enable.

One of the most promising applications of quantum dots is in the field of solar energy. Traditional solar cells, which are made from silicon, have limited efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity. 

Nanoco Group PLC (LON:NANO) leads the world in the research, development and large-scale manufacture of heavy metal-free nanomaterials for use in displays, lighting, vertical farming, solar energy and bio-imaging.
