Company Profile

An advanced materials company, UbiQD is in nanotechnology development manufacturing low-hazard quantum dots and nanocomposites. While the company's primary focus in-house is in enabling windows to generate electricity - the firm is developing “quantum dot” nanomaterial technology capable of manipulating light’s color and concentration with one of its first applications will help crop productivity in greenhouse environments - UbiQD also currently sells its materials for R&D purposes and provides materials technology development services. Spun out of technology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT), The University of Washington, and Western Washington University, UbiQD envisions a future where quantum dots are ubiquitous in a wide spectrum of applications. The firm is working to incorporate quantum dots into applications in energy, security, safety, design, and more. UbiQD produces very bright quantum dots with some of the lowest manufacturing costs using environmentally friendly synthesis that is free of toxic heavy metals or other carcinogenic materials. Optimizing and improving its scalable, low-cost methods of making I-III-VI quantum dots, typically based on CuInS2, the company also engages in R&D around emerging applications for its technology, and plans to license these technologies to customers. The company has exclusive license on two patents that comprise core components of the UbiQD intellectual property portf
