Quantum Dots Enjoy the Glow of a Bright Future
Quantum Dot’s Flexability Make them Useful in a Number of Areas
Many people have never heard of quantum dots, but they are an increasingly important part of nanotechnology. Quantum dots nanotechnology are approximately 5.5 to 6.5 nanometers in diameter. Nanometers are very small; equivalent to 1/1,000,000,000th of a meter. Though small, quantum dots are making a big difference in a number of areas including medicine, lighting, and solar energy.
Quantum Dots in Medical Technology
Quantum dots are being used in medical technology to track and monitor cell changes. Quantum dots are much brighter and more stable then their predecessors in medical technology, which were organic dyes. These benefits allow for much clearer results, and longer observation periods. Quantum dots are currently being used to track the development of cancer cells, so there’s a chance that the use of quantum dots in medicine could lead to better cancer treatments in the future.
Quantum Dots in the Home
Another use of quantum dots is in LED lights. LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode, and it is the newest technology in lights. Compact fluorescent bulbs are already more efficient than incandescent bulbs, and LED lights last four times as long and use half the energy of compact fluorescent bulbs. The biggest problem with LED lights is that they are new still a new technology, so the cost per bulb is still high. As with all new technologies, price goes down over time. This means that eventually LED lights will replace compact fluorescent bulbs as the light bulb of choice.
Quantum Dots in Solar Technology
A hot topic currently is solar energy, and quantum dots are being used in solar energy research as well. Much like how quantum dots are being used to improve LED lights, quantum dots are being used to improve solar receptors. Currently the theoretical limit for energy conversion is 33%, while using quantum dots increases the efficiency to approximately 60%. This is due to quantum dots’ ability to absorb and emit radiation. If the integration of quantum dots into solar receptors goes well it could be a major factor in solar panels becoming more mainstream and practical.
Keep an Eye Out for Quantum Dots in the Future
As you can see, there are a number of industries who need to buy quantum dots. Quantum dots are an exciting and emerging new technology which a great deal of potential. Keep and eye out in the future for some of the advancements mentioned here involving quantum dots.

City of Refuge $10.04 In her relatively short musical career, Abigail Washburn has covered a lot of ground; both physically and metaphorically. Bouncing between China and Appalachia has informed much of her musical output and influenced a body of work that goes far beyond the usual claw hammer banjo repertoire. Her Rounder debut, City of Refuge is a sublime marriage of old-time and indie-pop. On the album Washburn pair… |
