Demand for quantum dot displays, say industry watchers, could benefit quantum dot companies, bring down the price of these nanomaterials

Scientists unveil new technique for spotting quantum dots to make high performance nanophotonic devices A quantum dot should produce one and only one photon--the smallest constituent of light--each time it is energized,
which will enable control of the photons that the quantum dot generates. However finding the quantum dots--they're just about 10 nanometers across--is no small feat.
Array"This is a first step towards providing accurate location information for the manufacture of high performance quantum dot devices,
which they were able to collect 50 per cent of the quantum dot's emitted photons, the theoretical limit for this type of structure.
Such high purity is partly due to the fact that the location technique helps the researchers to quickly survey the wafer (10,000 square micrometers at a time) to find regions where the quantum dot density is especially low-only about one per 1
This makes it far more likely that each grating device contains one--and only one--quantum dot.

This uncertainty in the position of the quantum dot translates directly into a distortion of the electromagnetic field measurement of the object.
