As one of the UK’s highest official honours for business achievement, the Award recognises innovations that combine originality with real commercial and industrial impact. For Quantum Science, this award reflects how far INFIQ® quantum dot technology has progressed, from advanced […]
<strong>What defines true quality in PbS quantum dots for SWIR imaging?</strong>
As imaging devices push deeper into the short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectrum, material consistency is what separates good performance from great performance. At Quantum Science, we define this reliability through ‘Quality+’. This is a scientific framework for precision manufacturing that ensures every batch of our PbS quantum dots (QDs) delivers identical optical and physical characteristics. It […]
<strong>Delivering Quality+ in SWIR materials</strong>
Every technological leap brings its own set of challenges, and in short-wave infrared (SWIR) that challenge is now one of precision and reliability. Manufacturers that once prioritised proof of concept are now scaling performance, and doing so demands unwavering consistency. Expectations for SWIR image sensors have grown dramatically as the demand for accurate depth perception […]
INFIQ® lead-free quantum dots bring SWIR onto the high street
Quantum Science is proud to supply the best infrared lead-free quantum dot (LF-QD) technology available – but what does this mean for the SWIR industry? As the UN declares 2025 ‘the year of quantum science’ in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the discovery of quantum mechanics, Quantum Science stands at the forefront of this […]
INFIQ® lead-free quantum dots are shaping the future of consumer electronics
The quantum dot revolution is here, but not all quantum dots are created equal. With demand for lead-free alternatives rising, INFIQ® technology is pushing the standard for lead-free quantum dots (QDs) to new heights – bringing high-performance short-wave infrared (SWIR) capability closer to everyday consumer devices. Lead-free QDs are poised to transform industries from consumer […]
Leading the SWIR technology sector – lessons from Quantum Science
2024 finds Quantum Science at an exciting tipping point in its strategy. The expert in infrared quantum dot (QD) technology is progressing towards technology leadership status in the SWIR-sensitive nanomaterials sector, supplying the developing multi-billion-dollar market for SWIR devices. The business’s INFIQ® QD materials and inks are the key to unlocking the ability for people […]
How low-cost SWIR imaging benefits the machine vision sector
Industrial automation has been evolving rapidly, but the vision of a factory that can run 24/7, maintaining itself and minimising the risk of accidents or human error, remains just out of reach. For all the great leaps AI and machine learning have taken in recent years, these tools can only ever be as good as […]
Why did quantum dots win the Nobel Prize for chemistry?
It’s official: quantum dots (QDs) are transforming the way we live. Don’t just take our word for it – ask the Nobel committee, which earlier this year awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry to the three scientists behind the discovery and development of this ground-breaking technology. But why were QDs nominated in the first place? […]
Building the world-leading quantum dot and semiconductor team
As infrared quantum dot (QD) technology unlocks more exciting applications in electronic devices, at Quantum Science we have been investing in the team that makes this advancement possible. Data from the U.S Bureau of Labor and Statistics shows that 45% of new businesses fail within five years. Over this same time period, Quantum Science has […]
How quantum dots can drive development of fully autonomous vehicles
For over a century, driverless vehicles have been seen as the next great frontier in the automotive industry – a frontier that remains tantalisingly out of reach for mass-market vehicle manufacturers. Standardisation body SAE International has six clear tiers of automation, ranging from Level 0 – no automation – to Level 5, which is described […]
