Creating and controlling quantum dots via electrical methods, is likely to lead to new frontiers in the quest to develop stable and efficient qubits. Exploring how zinc oxide can be used in ...
The semiconductor used here is zinc oxide (zincite), which is obtained by taking a strip of zinc and heating it with a blow torch. This creates spots of zinc oxide on the strip, which can then be ...
The team wondered if zinc oxide might also help rice plants maintain their yields during heat waves. To find out, the researchers planted rice in a climate-controlled greenhouse.
