Quantum Dot Circuits by Arjun G. Yodh at University of Pennsylvania offer high-performance thin film electronics using nanometer-scale semiconductor particles. Synthesized quantum dots in cube shapes, assembled into solid form, fill spaces efficiently. The circuits can be realized on plastics for flexible electronic applications. Published in Nano Letters.

Quantum Dot Circuits Arjun G. Yodh, University of Pennsylvania, DMR 1120901 Kagan and Murray fabricated the first electronic circuits from nanometer scale semiconductor particles known as quantum dots. These quantum dots are synthesized in solution and tailored in the shape of cubes so when they are assembled into solids, they fill space. The nanoscale cubes allow for high performance thin film electronics. The chemistry developed further allowed these circuits to be realized on plastics for flexible electronic applications. W.-K.
