Sargent and other researchers combined specially-designed minute particles called quantum dots, three to four nanometres across, with a polymer to make a plastic that can detect energy in the infrared.

Isn't "infrared" just a frequency of heat radiation?
Looks like they can turn heat directly into electrical energy.
Can you imagine the applications, screw the sun we will all be going with coined sized nuke battery packs now.
This could be very big, or it could be "cold fusion" all over again.
