Next Big Future: Quantum Dots covering one square inch could produce...

A new type of nanoscale engine has been proposed that would use quantum dots to generate electricity from waste heat, potentially making mic...

"The system is really a simple one, which exploits certain properties of quantum dots to harvest heat," Professor Andrew Jordan of the University of Rochester said. "Despite this simplicity, the power it could generate is still larger than any other nanoengine that has been considered until now."
