UbiQD Awarded NSF Small Business Grant

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Quantum dot (QD) manufacturer UbiQD LLC has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grant by the National Science Foundation. The 12-month, $225,000 award is intended to help fund the R&D of luminescent solar concentrating glass windows with QD coatings. In July, the company expanded its license to include the proof-of- concept work on the technology, originally developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, in collaboration with Italy’s University of Milano-Bicocca. New Mexico-based quantum dot developer UbiQD was awarded a SBIR Phase I grant by...Read full article

    quantum dots
    A quantum dot is a nanoscale semiconductor structure, typically composed of materials like cadmium selenide or indium arsenide, that exhibits unique quantum mechanical properties. These properties arise from the confinement of electrons within the dot, leading to discrete energy levels, or "quantization" of energy, similar to the behavior of individual atoms or molecules. Quantum dots have a size on the order of a few nanometers and can emit or absorb photons (light) with precise wavelengths,...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
