Organic chemists could also probably find ways to artificially create di-peptides since they are assembled through amino acids. The chargers are projected to be pretty cheap and cost-efficient so they probably have a large supply.<br /><br />-NBNicole Boisvertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-24715236554653222612014-04-19T18:33:54.237-07:002014-04-19T18:33:54.237-07:00You're on the right path if you're thinkin...You're on the right path if you're thinking of that because quantom dots are being explored in many levels of industry. Currently, they are exploring the option of using quantum dots in solar panels. The quantom dots work better than regular solar cell because they concentrate solar radiation absorbed from a large area onto a significantly smaller solar cell.<br /><br />-NBNicole Boisvertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-8718671159785942252014-04-19T17:03:14.592-07:002014-04-19T17:03:14.592-07:00I remember so many times I would get so frustrated...I remember so many times I would get so frustrated at my phone charger so reading about something like this definitely gives me feelings of relief.

I really hope that this company you mentioned, StoreDot, is successful and many other companies follow after them; I can only imagine positive things coming out of this.<br /><br />Nicole PeterkinPeter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-62671119532631872412014-04-17T17:18:41.072-07:002014-04-17T17:18:41.072-07:00This is really interesting!

I wonder what else they will be able to use the quantom dot technology for? <br /><br />Posted by Morgan MatuszkoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
