Breakthrough for Quantum Dot Electronics | NextBigFuture.com

Los Alamos Researchers have created fundamental electronic building blocks out of quantum dots This could lead to cheaper and more powerful complex electronic devices that can be fabricated in a chemistry laboratory via simple, solution-based techniques, and offer long-sought components for a host of innovative devices. Quantum dot electronics could make better printable circuits, flexible displays, lab-on-a-chip diagnostics, wearable devices, medical testing, smart implants, and biometrics. Colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles can be made with chemistry methods without clean rooms. Due to their small size and unique properties directly controlled by quantum mechanics, these particles are dubbed quantum dots.
