UbiQD, Inc., a leader in quantum dot technology, has received a technology assistance award from Los Alamos National Laboratory under the Technology Readiness Gross Receipts Initiative. This collaboration aims to advance UbiQD’s R&D on near-infrared emitting quantum dots for solar energy applications. The TRGR program allows New Mexico businesses to work with scientists from national laboratories to bring technologies to market. This partnership will help UbiQD accelerate the deployment of a LANL-licensed technology for the U.S. solar industry. With a focus on improving fluorescence properties in the NIR spectrum, UbiQD aims to enhance its products’ marketability. The collaboration with LANL’s Nanotechnology and Advanced Spectroscopy Team, led by Victor Klimov, will provide crucial insights into the photophysical properties of quantum dots. UbiQD’s expertise in QD technology development and the use of ultrafast spectroscopic techniques are crucial in achieving these goals. The successful outcome of this collaboration is expected to strengthen UbiQD’s position in the nanotechnology industry. Improved brightness, absorption strength, and linewidth are all potential benefits of the program. UbiQD, founded in 2014, is headquartered in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and is licensing technology from leading research institutions. To learn more about UbiQD, visit ubiqd.com.
