The award was given to Bawendi, Brus and Ekimov «for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots»
(LaPresse) Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Alexei Ekimov are the winners of the 2023 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. This was announced by the Royal Swedish Academy, explaining that the award was given to the three researchers “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots”. These are nanoparticles that have unique properties and are capable of diffusing light from television screens and LED lamps. They can also catalyze chemical reactions and illuminate tumor tissue for surgeons. The three scholars used quantum dots mainly to create colored light. They believe that in the future these particles could contribute to flexible electronics, tiny sensors, thinner solar cells and perhaps encrypted quantum communications. (Lapresse)
