- Quantum dots are tiny semiconductor structures that can serve as qubits, with quantum information stored in the spin or charge states of confined electrons. But the limited coherence time of these qubits greatly restricts their potential. Scientists demonstrated ways to increase this coherence time https://physics.aps.org/articles/v15/s92 2 comments science

- Scientists discovered a way to create LEDs that can also detect and absorb light. They modified tiny versions of LEDs, called quantum dots, and created nanorods in which quantum dots directly contact two semiconductor materials. One allows movement of positive charge, and the other the negative one http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/02/watch-phones-future-could-detect-your-gestures-without-touch-thanks-two-way-leds 5 comments science
- By marrying tiny crystals called quantum dots to miniature wires, researchers are developing new materials that show promise for splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen fuel, which could be used to power cars, buses, boats and other modes of transportation. http://www.upi.com/science_news/2016/10/17/scientists-hope-to-split-water-with-quantum-dots-and-nanowires/7971476721950/?spt=sec&or=sn 87 comments science
