What are Quantum Dots?
Quantum Dots are very small semiconductor particles, so small that their optical and electronic properties differ from those of larger particles. They are the most prominent aspect in nanotechnology. Many types of quantum dots will emit light of specific frequencies if electricity or light is applied to them. These frequencies can be precisely tuned by changing the dots' size, shape and material, giving rise to many applications.
