Quantum effects are the surprising and often counterintuitive phenomena that occur at the nanoscale, where the laws of classical physics break down and the principles of quantum mechanics dominate.

Quantum confinement is a physical effect that occurs when the size of a material—usually a semiconductor or conductor—is reduced to the nanoscale, thereby restricting the movement of electrons or ...

Researchers achieve quantum confinement without shrinking materials by engineering a COF with confined excitons, enabling strong photoluminescence and nerve agent detection. (Nanowerk News) Quantum ...
