Behavior Of Quantum Dots When Combined To Form Molecules Doesn't Fit With Atomic Physics Theory

A study has demonstrated that the behaviour of quantum dots is different from that posited by atomic physics so far, and this is due to the spin of the electron. This is one of the findings of the theoretical study c...
