Nobel Prize in Chemistry Recognizes Quantum Dot Pioneers
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 4, 2023 — Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus, and Alexei Ekimov have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery and development of quantum dots, which are nanoparticles small enough that their size determines their properties. These discoveries have led to advancements in nanotechnology that are now used in products such as televisions, LED lamps, QLED screens, and technology that allows biochemists and doctors to map biological tissue. Bawendi, Brus, and Ekimov were awarded 11 million
