Our Vision
We envision a future where quantum dots are widely used in a range of different products. They can make industrial processes like food and energy production more efficient, and enhance the quality of consumer products like displays, inks, and cosmetics. Advanced materials like quantum dots will be at the forefront of the next industrial revolution.
Underutilization of Sunlight
Spectrum (ie, color) drives light-material interactions
Sunlight has a broad spectrum (includes all colors)
Materials have narrow response (only specific colors)
Quantum Dots Optimize Light
Quantum dots are tiny bits of material that enable effecient manipulation of color and light (fluorescence)
UbiQD dots are safer, cheaper, and more stable
