Several solar projects have received hefty subsidies as part of the Joint Solar Programme (JSP), which aims to promote research into photovoltaic solar energy in the Netherlands. JSP is funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research and by the Amsterdam-based company NV Nuon Energy. Several universities also are participating in the program. Utrecht University received funding for projects involving solar concentrators based on luminescent-doped nanocrystals, on quantum-dot-based thin-film silicon cells and on low-cost luminescent concentrators, and for another project done...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,...
