Tuberculosis (TB) has been around for at least 9000 years, and people have been trying to find a cure or treatment for hundreds of years, but it remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world, killing more than 1.5 million people per year. Despite all of the motivation and effort, there has been only partial progress in fully eradicating the disease but a company in South Korea, ... » read more

Tiny Dots, Big Impact: The Luminous World of Quantum Dots
By Xia Stammer - 07 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

In the early ’80s, Alexey Ekimov and Louis E. Brus independently researched semiconductor clusters, leading to the discovery of quantum dots (QDs). QDs are nanoscale semiconductor particles with unique optical and electronic properties. In 1993, Moungi Bawendi improved quantum dot production, making them nearly perfect for various applications. By the late ’90s and early 2000s, quantum d... » read more
