New Approach to Quantum Dots could boost Solar Panels

Rice University scientists have revealed a breakthrough method for producing quantum dots which could lead to better, cheaper solar energy panels. The research by scientists at Rice's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) describes a new chemical method for making four-legged cadmium selenide quantum dots, which previous research has shown to be particularly effective at converting sunlight into electrical energy.
