Nanosys

Nanosys is a California-based nanotechnology company founded by Larry Bock, Charles Lieber, and Paul Alivisatos, specializing in the development and manufacture of quantum dot materials for display applications. Headquartered in Milpitas, California's Silicon Valley, the company operates a state-of-the-art quantum dot nanomaterials fabrication facility and holds a robust intellectual property portfolio with numerous patents. As of 2023, industry-leading consumer electronics brands have shipped over 70 million devices in more than 1,000 unique products based on Nanosys' proprietary quantum dot technology, including tablets, monitors, and televisions. In September 2023, Nanosys was acquired by Shoei Chemical, Inc., with its world-class quantum dot research and development team and Silicon Valley laboratories now integrated into Shoei's operations. Dr. Martin Devenney serves as CEO, succeeding Jason Hartlove who led the company from 2008 to 2023. Nanosys' quantum dot enhancement films (QDEF) represent a major commercial success in applying quantum materials science to consumer technology.
