Cadmium-based nanostructures are opening new possibilities in near-infrared (NIR) technology, from medical imaging to fiber ...

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) is an II-VI semiconductor material with a bandgap of around 1.7eV, which makes it ideal for building thin-film solar cells with strong optoelectronic properties ...

"We have been focusing on this one type of material, a ternary alloy—mercury cadmium selenide—because we think it could be the 'perfect' material to make," Smith says. "You could basically get ...

Researchers have discovered a breakthrough in solar technology, showing that quantum dots (QDs)—tiny semiconductor particles ...

That's why a quantum dot-microbe hybrid has such strong potential synergy. Using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy ...

Cadmium selenide nanoplatelets provide a promising foundation for the development of innovative electronic materials. Since the turn of the millennium, researchers around the world have taken a ...

Some things just work better in pairs—like peanut butter and jelly, or famous duos like Simon and Garfunkel. Now, scientists ...

Researchers gain critical insights into atomic-scale synthesis of cadmium selenide nanoplatelets, enabling systematic production of these atom-thin materials with extraordinary optical properties.

Semiconductor nanoparticles typically consist of a crystalline core made from a semiconductor material, such as cadmium selenide (CdSe), cadmium sulfide (CdS), or indium phosphide (InP). The core is ...

There are four basic kinds of thin film solar panels, each with pros and cons: Amorphous silicon, organic photovoltaic, cadmium telluride, and copper indium gallium selenide. These are the ...

They achieve this either by using crosslinked PS nanoparticles — ensuring minimal enthalpic differences between the nanoparticles and the polymer — or by coating cadmium selenide nanoparticles ...
