Quantum Dot Fluorescence Creates New Opportunities and Applications

On maio 9, 2025 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Medical, Sensors by Liam Critchley

Quantum dots have unique fluorescent properties that can be tuned by changing their size. Discover how the tunability around the emitted color enables quantum dots to be well-suited in a wide range of applications, such as QLED displays, solar cells, bioimaging, and biosensors.

What Are Piezotronic Devices?

On setembro 5, 2024 in All, Computing, General, Memory, Sensors by Liam Critchley

Piezotronic devices are a subset of piezoelectric devices that use the piezopotential generated during the strain of semiconducting 1D nanowires to modulate and control the movement of charge carriers in different semiconductor architectures, such as p-n junctions and metal-semiconductor interfaces.

What Are Piezo-Phototronics?

On agosto 9, 2023 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Sensors by Liam Critchley

Piezo-phototronic materials share many characteristics with piezotronic materials that help modulate charge carriers and electric currents at different semiconducting interfaces, but they also have photoexcitation properties that enable them to enhance a range of optoelectronic devices.

Nanoarchitectonics in High-Tech Applications

On junho 30, 2023 in All, General, Medical, Power by Liam Critchley

Nanoarchitectonics is a technological process combining material fabrication and atomic manipulation methods to create functional and active nanoscale features in materials so that the intended device can be much better tailored to an application than fabrication methods alone.

Can Designers Use 2D Materials to Build More Advanced Computers?

On abril 28, 2023 in All, Computing, General by Liam Critchley

2D materials offer a way to go beyond the limits of silicon-based technologies and create ultra-small devices that don’t degrade below 5nm thickness. These small-scale devices can be used to develop more efficient and application-specific hardware for matrix and logic computing systems.

Nanotechnology's Impact on Energy Storage Devices

On novembro 25, 2022 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Power by Liam Critchley

As society looks for ways of creating more efficient and smaller energy storage devices for various technologies, manufacturers are looking at alternatives to the status quo. Nanomaterials offer a promising option to improve energy storage devices' overall performance and size.

Using 3D Nanoscale Printing

On outubro 24, 2022 in All, General by Liam Critchley

3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, has grown over the years to become a beneficial and versatile manufacturing tool. While many 3D printing methods produce bulk objects, it is now possible to 3D print nanoscale structures through two-photon lithography.

The Chemistry Behind Inorganic Solar Cells

On agosto 25, 2022 in All, Energy Harvesting, General, Industrial, Power by Liam Critchley

Inorganic solar cells are the most common and efficient solar cells and rely on many different aspects of chemistry to function. Without chemistry, it would not be possible to create the internal current generation mechanisms that enable solar cells to harness sunlight, and here we explain how.
