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.
