Flat screen TVs that incorporate quantum dots are now commercially available, but it has been more difficult to create arrays of their elongated cousins, quantum rods, for commercial devices. Quantum rods can control both the polarization and color o
MIT engineers developed a way to create these arrays by scaffolding quantum rods onto patterned DNA, which could enhance VR devices.
Currently, flat-screen TVs that integrate quantum dots are commercially available. However, it has been highly challenging to make arrays of their extended cousins, quantum rods, for commercial devices.
Using scaffolds of folded DNA, MIT engineers assembled arrays of quantum rods with desirable photonic properties that could enable them to be used as highly efficient micro-LEDs for televisions or virtual reality devices.
With funding from Virginia Catalyst, also known as the Virginia Biosciences Health Research Corp., Virginia Tech is engaged in three collaborative bioscience projects to address unmet health care needs in Virginia, according to Michael Friedlander, vice president for health sciences and technology at Virginia Tech.
