Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for producing quantum particles (e.g., quantum dots) having a uniform size by vaporization of molten precursor droplets. More particularly, the present technology produces quantum dots by melting or liquefying solid and substantially pure precursor materials followed by production of uniformly sized droplets of molten precursor by use of a droplet maker into a microwave generated plasma torch.

A composition for covering satellite solar panels includes an encapsulating resin, a conductive nano-network, and fused silica/quartz beads. A coverglass for a satellite solar panel includes such a composition. A method for producing the composition includes the steps of mixing an encapsulating resin, a conductive nano-network, and fused silica/quartz beads at a specific ratio, so that the ratio maximizes the inherent properties; and tape casting the mixture to create the composition.
