About Nanoco Group plc
Nanoco (LSE: NANO) harnesses the power of nano-materials.
Nano-materials are materials with dimensions typically in the range
1 - 100 nm. Nano-materials have a range of useful properties,
including optical and electronic. Quantum dots are a subclass of
nano-material that have size-dependent optical and electronic
properties. The Group produces quantum dots. Within the sphere of
quantum dots, the Group exploits different characteristics of the
quantum dots to target different performance criteria that are
attractive to specific markets or end-user applications such as the
Display and Electronics markets. One of the interesting properties
of quantum dots is photoluminescence: the emission of longer
wavelength light upon excitation by light of a shorter wavelength.
The colour of light emitted depends on the particle size. Nanoco's
CFQD(R) quantum dots are free of cadmium and other toxic heavy
metals and can be tuned to emit light at different wavelengths
across the visible and infrared spectrum, rendering them useful for
a wide range of applications including displays, lighting and
biological imaging.
Nanoco was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Manchester,
UK, with a US subsidiary, Nanoco Inc., in Concord, MA. Nanoco
continues to build out a world-class, patent-protected IP portfolio
generated both by its own innovation engine, as well as through
acquisition.
Nanoco is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange
and trades under the ticker symbol NANO. For further information
