Study Highlights the Immense Potential of Perovskite Material in Spintronic Systems

In 1839, when Gustav Rose, a German mineralogist, stood on the slopes of the Ural Mountains in Russia and collected a piece of a formerly undiscovered mineral, he had certainly not heard of diodes or transistors or never had an inkling of how traditional electronics would become an essential part of people’s everyday lives.

Study Shows Strained Colloidal Quantum Dots Could be Viable Alternatives to Nano-Scale Light Sources

Deliberate “squashing” of colloidal quantum dots when a chemical synthesis is in progress could lead to the creation of dots with the capability of stable, “blink-free” light emission that is on par with the light generated by dots formed using highly complex processes.
