What are Quantum Dots?

Quantum dots (QDs) are ultra-small (“nano”) particles of material, so tiny that about 100,000 could fit across a single fingernail. Despite their size, QDs offer remarkable efficiency and can emit light in a wide spectrum of colors, tailored by adjusting their size and composition.

These particles have a protective, layered structure that enhances durability and light-emitting properties. As their size increases, their light shifts to warmer, redder tones; smaller QDs shift to cooler, bluer tones. This tunability makes them ideal for diverse applications, from agriculture to solar energy.
