Quantum dots are tiny, easy-to-produce particles which will soon take the place of more expensive single crystal semiconductors in advanced electronics found in solar panels, camera sensors, and medical imaging

Clive Beech, micro-LED Applications Director at Plessey, talks to Neil Tyler about the challenges and prospects of this technology. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), earlier this year, Plessey unveiled

For Scottish agriculture, the only way is up. That, at least, is the view of MPs after seeing the nation’s first ever “vertical farm”. Scientists at Scotland’s James Hutton Institute

Light is crucial for most life-forms. Plants relay on light for photosynthesis. Utilising artificial light to support this process enables farmers to control the development, shape, and flowering period of

Every year, more than 18 million people around the world are told, “You have cancer.” In the U.S., nearly half of all men and more than one-third of women will

The global quantum dots market is expected to register a CAGR of 61.4% over the forecast period of 2018–2023.Quantum dots are nanocrystals made out of semiconductors used in display and

What exactly is a quantum dot? Quantum Dots (QDs), also known as semiconductor nanocrystals, are quasi-zero dimensional nanoparticles with the size between 2 and 10 nm. The dimensions of QDs

Quantum dots (QDs) are a commercial success for nanotechnology. They are already used in display applications. Importantly, the QD technology and application landscape is rapidly evolving. Display and lighting QDs
