What exactly are Quantum Dots (QDs)? And what can we do with them?
Quantum dots are semiconductor particles a few nanometres in size, having optical and electronic properties that differ from larger particles due to quantum mechanics. They are a central topic in nanotechnology and the central topic of our conversation in this episode, with two experts in the field: Dr. Jonathan (S) Steckel - Director of Advanced Technology Intelligence in Imaging at STMicroelectronics and Prof. Dr. Zeger Hens of Gent University (leading the Physics and Chemistry of Nanostructures Group).
