Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory and other labs have demonstrated a process whereby quantum dots can self-assemble at optimal locations in nanowires, a breakthrough that could improve solar cells, ... At that size they exhibit beneficial behaviors of quantum physics such as forming electron-hole pairs and harvesting excess energy. The scientists demonstrated how quantum dots can self-assemble at the apex of the gallium ...
