Students’ QDs win regional Cleantech Challenge
SALT LAKE CITY – Students at the University of Utah recently won $100,000 and first place in the regional CU Cleantech New Venture Challenge for their quantum dot technology. Compared with other materials, quantum dots require less energy for emitting light. The color of light emitted depends on the dot’s size. Large quantum dots produce light toward the red side of the spectrum, while smaller dots produce light toward the blue side. These man-made semiconductor nanocrystals hold potential for a...
